    Default Poop logs?

    Ok . When I first got pip he had little dark crumb like poops.
    Then it changed to little mustard colored sesame seed like poops.
    Now when stimulated it's clusters or long logs of these little sesame seeds . He is pooping less in his bedding but is saving it all up for these logs.

    I "think" it's normal cause it looks more like the wild poop I see only smaller and yellowy .

    He is 2/3 weeks of age.

    Sounds fine to me. Esbilac poops are golden yellow.

    Same color. If they start to turn whitish, the formula isn't being digested due to overfeeding, too much or too often. You're squared away on the amount and schedule, right?

    2-3 week 5% body weight every 2.5 -3 hour right? Did you think he looked about almost 3 weeks?

    5% is the low end. You can safely go to 7% if hungry.

    Awesome Thank you ! Sometimes I think he would eat it and at other times not. He always acts like he wants to eat more during daylight hours.
