Hello there!  This could be something or nothing.  Faeces do change colour occasionally, depending on factors such as the diet, for example amount or type of fibre, the bacterial levels, pigments in vegetation and fluid levels in the poo.  Colour change can also relate to blood in the faces (red to black, depending on how much of the blood has been digested), the amount of bilirubin in the faeces (yellow / orange - a breakdown product of red blood cells being deposited in the gut from the liver) and so on.  A small amount of colour change is sometimes to be expected, especially when the diet varies or patients are scavengers.  However, consistent or regular changes to the faeces - either in colour or consistency - may be noteworthy and should be shown to the vet.
