Why is my African pygmy hedgehog's poop green? Is it serious?

Question

My little African pygmy hedgehog has had green fecies. What could be the cause? Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Female | unspayed

Jeffrey Milner · Accepted Answer

Green feces in a hedgehog is usually an indication of simple gastrointestinal upset. There are a variety of causes for GI upset in these guys, usually arising from dietary indiscretion. They can also be the victim of some GI parasites. I would recommend having the feces looked at microscopically to rule out a parasites. If there is no diarrhea and Tep's appetite is OK however, I don't see a need to advise for veterinary intervention at this time. If there is a decreased appetite and evidence of loose stool, finding someone to examine your hedgehog might be useful. Hope this makes sense.
