Thanks to everyone who replied to me about Zephyr's bundly poos. He is only
a year and a half, can a boar that young get impacted? I also spent a bit
more time keeping an eye on him and he actually doesn't appear to be
straining, he just often has a bundle half out of him. His poos looked
better today, just a few bundles and more normal looking ones. It could be
diet though it's odd that Felix isn't affected. I started feeding them
cucumber awhile ago and I didn't used to feed it to Zephyr when he was a
lone piggie. I'm taking that out to see if it makes a difference. I also
noticed that the bag of Sweet Meadow Hay that I took out of the freezer (I
order 6 bags and then freeze 4), seems to be less than pleasing to both Zeph
and Felix. Neither of them usually have a problem with the defrosted hay.
It smells great to me, sweet and green. Maybe Zeph isn't eating enough hay
to give his poos the firmness they need. I can't imagine why they would
suddenly go off the hay. They eat everything else -pellets and veggies-
like there's no tomorrow. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on him to try
and figure this mystery out.
Thanks again!
Laura, Felix & Zephyr
