          Is he shedding? Has anything in his diet changed in the last week or so?

              Double poops usually mean that the gut has slowed down a little, often happens during a shed as Mikey mentioned. The time of day that the greens are fed shouldn’t affect his gut that way.Justmake sure you encourage his hay eating to keep moving things along. A couple of double poops especially during a shed isn’t much cause for alarm but if you are seeing lots of them frequently then there may be some other underlying cause.

                Agreeing with Azerane. A few here and there really isnt too much to worry about as long as he is still eating his hay. If he is shedding, that can sometimes cause it to happen as well. If its happening often and/or youre seeing a lot of double poops, it might help to start a poop journal. Every once in a while, take a trip over to his litter box with a notebook, write down the time, write down the date, write down what he was fed an hour or so before that, and write down how many double poops you see. If you want to get even more detailed, write down how much energy he was burning as well. This way you can see if there is a pattern after a few days, and if there is, you will better know how to fix the issue

                  Sounds disgusting (and it is!) but you can break apart those poops and see if it’s a lot of hair causing the problem. If yes, more grooming is needed.
