So I decided to take out my rat today, I put a towel down and some old jeans for her to play in, she decided to go to the toilet which isn't strange but her poops were cream instead of her usual brown. What's going on here and should I be worried?

Did she eat something weird, that she normally doesn't eat? It might be that. My cat pooped green-ish after nomming on a candy I accidentaly left on the ground once.

No, Nothing out of the ordinary, just her normal treats, snacks and rat food

From memory lighter poops aren't really anything to worry about. My girls get them sometimes when I give them new treats and sometimes when I don't. Just keep an eye on them and I'm sure everything will be fine.

What food/treats do you feed her? How long have you had her or how long has she been on her current diet?

I've had her for one and a bit years, She eats reggie rat food and I'm going to be giving her some Petz at home stuff soon. She gets certain Dog treats like Bacon flavored chews and Marrowbone rolls, she also has a non-splintering ham bone to knaw on. We just put a new one in a few weeks ago as the Knee ham bone was getting old. But the new bone is all I think of as new... She and her sister have never had any health problems from the dog treats and the bones before so it shouldn't be her food.

Has she gone to town munching on the new bone? When I feed my dog a lot of bone, he ends up with white poop LOL

Yep that's it. Bones tend to affect the color of poop.

For the record, rats can eat bones that splinter. I give mine chicken bones all the time. Since they don't eat them the way dogs do, pretty much any bone is safe.
