My guinea pig's poop is suddenly much bigger. Is this normal?

My guinea pig is pooping a lot bigger than she used to. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that I left her alone for one day though. She is not in any pain though.

As long as she is a eating, drinking and acting normally I wouldn’t be too concerned. Also, make sure she is pooping daily and not becoming constipated. If she goes without pooping or her behavior changes, then I would have your vet take a look at her to make sure she isn’t constipated. I hope this helps!
