Perjo - Female CAG hatch Nov 2015
I know poop questions get posted a lot, but they all seem to be triggered on a specific issue and die quickly.

How about getting some of the better minds and more experienced people in here to give their best info on how to read poop colors and the changes in color that can occur from specific diet.

My Perjo (19 mos CAG) has had a pretty consistent diet since day one, Roudybush pellets, a little bit of Topps pellets, fruits (bananas, apples, watermelon, strawberry), veggies (carrots, squash, spinach, brocolli, cauliflower, green and red peppers, egg yolks cooked, birdie bread with good ingredients including coconut oil, peas, argula, bok choy leafs and stalks, celery, red skin potatoes, yams, and for treats raw almonds, sun flower kernels and dry wheat pasta elbows.

Her poop is usually green, but lately we've seen more brown poops than usual, with some occasional yellow urine not white.

So the question is, can one food item impact poop color for one day and if so just how much? I'm sure there is no exact science to this, but for reference sake it would be nice to get some good feedback on this. If one's FID eats way more greens would their poop be way more green? Is it a good idea to do a reset sometimes and just feed them pellets and water with maybe one fresh fruit or veggie one day to see how the poop looks?
