Hi there, thanks for the photo! It really looks like she must be ingesting something from outside. It almost looks like a peanut or something??? It does not look like any type of parasite or mucus which is what I was thinking. I would just keep an eye on her poops and see if you can figure out what she may be eating.

    Hello. Can you please post a photo? It is very difficult to say what this substance is without seeing it. My best guess would be a tapeworm segment but I really can't say for sure. When you see it again please take a photo and post again. Thanks!
