Over the last couple weeks Andy has gotten very agressive. To the point we are wary of getting him out of the cage. (We do but not without struggle) Today when I was cleaning out his cage I noticed a rather large poop with two strips of a tan colored mass in them. The last week they have had strict greens and squash. Nothing that should have been that color. Could this be a "plug"? We have been to the vet in the last month so I am pretty sure he isnt in pain. Plus he is active in his cage. He is also eating and pooping. Just a grump!

Sometimes my male ig (about 3 yrs old) passes plugs with waste. Although usually I just find them in his cage. It makes sense that it might have two "strips"; there could have been a plug in both hemipenes and if it came out intact, that is how it might have looked. Just be happy it didn't get stuck. Boy, they REALLY hate it when you have to dislodge one of THOSE!
