As recently described by kinyonga, the feces (poop) looks like a sausage because it is encased in a slimy sort of material, then there is sometimes a squiggly piece that attaches to the urate (pee) which should be mostly creamy or white. If it is ALL orange then I would evaluate setup if just the tip or small portion is salmon/orange but is mainly cream/white then I would not worry. Feel free to post a poop pic - it's been awhile since we've seen one - lol!
