Question Ball Shaped Poo?

Hi all!

Today I’ve realised that in one of the corners my Syrian (female 5 months) uses her poo is all a round ball shape, in other areas it’s fine.

I’ve tried looking up what it could mean but haven’t found anything that clear. Some suggestions of dehydration or diet. She has Pets at Home muesli but I’m going to change to nuggets just in case she’s not getting a balance, she uses a water bowl but as the cage is across two levels I’m going to put another in for her. She has a good mix of veg (usually what we’ve go in for the week) but I think I’ll give her some cucumber and get some leafy greens.

Any experience or advice much appreciated!!

Hmm. Sounds a bit different! Is it definitely poo? Diet wise yes a change would be good but needs to be changed over gradually over a week or two so their stomachs adjust. The PAH mix is not great. All in one nuggets aren’t great either - they do much better with a muesli. Harry Hamster is fine. Contains everything needed and is sugar free and has whole peanuts in their shells. It may look similar to the PAH mix but the proportions and quality are much better. I am using that mixed with Bunny dream muesli but that isn’t easy to get hold of - it comes from Zooplus in Germany. So I’d try Harry Hamster. Most Syrians like it and the pieces are a good size for Syrians.

I feed Harry Hamster to Syrians and Bunny Dreams Expert to dwarfs. Bunny Dreams is back in stock and Zooplus delivers quickly. I've recently placed and received an order.

Serendipity, which Zooplus mix to you add to the Harry Hamster for Syrians? The Bunny Dreams Basics or the Versele-Laga muesli?
That sounds like a good idea.

How rude of me to hog your thread without even saying hi.
