If you notice that your guinea pig's droppings are marble-sized rather than the typical small, oval shape, it could be a sign of digestive issues or dehydration.

First, make sure your guinea pig always has access to fresh water, as dehydration can cause droppings to become harder and larger. Additionally, ensure that their diet is well-balanced and rich in hay, which is essential for their digestive health. You can also include fresh vegetables and a small amount of pellets in their diet.

It's important to monitor your guinea pig's behavior and droppings over the next few days. If the droppings return to normal and your guinea pig remains active and continues to eat well, it might have been a temporary issue.

However, if the marble-sized droppings persist or you observe other symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or signs of discomfort, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health problems.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
