Ok some of you already know I feed Cricket Zupreem colored flavored pellets, those of you who don't now know.
Question part, I have noticed that she eats her pellets by color all of the green then all of the red, orange, some yellow and if she has room for more the purple she might munch on a few (doesn't seem to like it though) I have been noticing that he droppings are a little green most of the time and then some times red so on and so forth. She seems normal, but I want to just make sure. Do you thing the coloring is from the food?
I have been putting off taking her back to the vet for the reg. blood check up because its an $85 fee I don't have at this moment. (I do plan on doing it soon)
Does this sound like a rush thing? They did the fecal test and they said every thing way normal and that was... um... less than a month I think, I will have to look.

anyways... what do you guys think?

I was feeding zupreme to Popsicle and the same thing happened to her poop, it changed to red and orange. The when she switched to Harrisons they're back to green. Its perfectly normal, its just because of the color of the pellets. If you switched her to a non colored pellet they would go back to being green most of the time. Hope this helps.

yeah Sidney is on Zupreem and the green are his favorites so his poop is usually green!!! Misty is good about eating all of them but the yellow so her poop just looks like normal birdy doo :)

Yeah I would say it's the pellets. When Sisqo went to the vet when he was sick, she said the redness in his poop might just be from cranberries (he loves them!), and that often times a birds excrement will be tinted the color of his food. Turns out in his case it wasn't cranberries, but oh well.
