Hi mumsy! i would catch it and wash it as this is called pasting up and if it dries into a hard blob it could stop it passing any more poops which can kill them! Ifound ita mainly the boys that do it if i get any  ::) but they actually quite enjoy it and fall asleep :lol: must be the warm water!
Good luck!

I managed to catch it & have cleaned it up, yes, there was a hard lump.  As soon as I put it  back in, it did a poo, so hopefully should be ok now but I will keep an eye on it.

Thanks again
