Why is my guinea pig's poop soft after moving to a new place?

Question

My Guinea pig poop is liquidity and concerned a little about it. I’m not sure if it is from stress because we just moved to a new place or if it’s something else. She is eating and drinking fine and acting fine just a little concerned. Pet's info: Small Animal | Guinea Pig | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old

Thanks for reaching out about Miss Piggy. Yes, soft stool can be a result of stress, but stress also lowers the immune system that can lead to bacterial overgrowth or parasitic overgrowth. Since she is still eating well and acting well, try limiting her diet to hay only for 1-2 days, to see if that will firm the stool. Vegetables and fruit can be too rich for the diet and lead to soft stool also. If the clinical signs does not improve, seek an appointment with a veterinarian with experience in companion exotic mammals.
