My veil has always had normal poops but now he has these huge circle poops and it’s starting to worry me.
 
Can't say I did... but I'm not mad about it haha

Update: OP sent me an Instagram DM of a pic of the poop since she couldn't figure out how to send one on here. She's made a vet appointment to get a fecal done and I'm coaching her through some husbandry changes.
 
Hello again:) I feel like I'm just worrying over every little possible thing. Her poop has the white part and brown part just like the pictures, no orange in it. I just found it and it was dry, this could be because its been sitting all day and I just now seen it but I don't know, and it had a SLIGHT poop smell. Is that okay, along with it being kind of dry? I know you said in the video that that could be a sign of a parasite. Being that I just spent close to $700 dollars in less than a week on her I can't afford to take her to get a fecal test done asap. Is it okay that it had a very slight smell? Thank you for helping me so much. Ps- she started shedding and looks more vibrant already, also haven't seen anymore shaking. :) I really appreciate all your advice and love your videos!
 
It’s great to ask questions! It’s how we learn :)

I really think it’s dry because it’s an old poop. Be on the lookout for a fresh poop and it should be nice and squishy (you know what I mean). Sometimes their poop gets caught on leaves.

A slight poop smell is also totally fine. It is poop after all. You just don’t want it to be REALLY smelly. It’s probably a good idea to get a fecal done at some point to make sure everything is good and to have some peace of mind. But when your finances allow for it... I don’t think it’s urgent.

Yay for shedding. I had a feeling that’s why she was paler, but didn’t want to miss the opportunity to make sure your husbandry was on point.

So happy you’re enjoying the videos. I made them for people just like you :)
