If they eat allot of pellets, it can be green. It can vary from bag to bag too. I don't know if they are still in the process of figuring out how much, or what kind of dye to use. Or if it's just not to strictly regulated???

If you're using Rep-Cal pellets, I wouldn't worry about it. There's a *lot* of artificial colouring in them. Oolong's poo is always precisely the colour of the green pellets (practically all he eats), & when he got his fecal exam, the vet said that the pinworms she found were stained the same shade of green. ;D
