Guinea pig droppings are typically small, oval-shaped, and uniform in size. If you notice that your guinea pig's droppings are marble-sized, it could indicate some digestive issues or dehydration.

To help address this at home, there are a few steps you can take:

First, ensure that your guinea pig has constant access to fresh water, as dehydration can lead to harder and larger droppings. Next, make sure their diet is balanced and rich in hay, which is crucial for their digestive health. Including fresh vegetables and a small amount of guinea pig pellets can also be beneficial.

It's important to monitor your guinea pig's behavior and droppings over the next few days. If the size of the droppings returns to normal and your guinea pig seems active and healthy, it might have been a temporary issue.

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

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