I don't know if this goes for marsupials too, but alot of animals will eat their own poop because their digestive system cannot squeeze every ounce of nutrient out of their food, so after processing it into poop, they eat it so it can flow through again and they can get the last remaining nutrients out of it.
I wouldnt be worried, its COMPLETELY normal, animal instinct.

Hmmmm....they recently switched from BML to HPW so both of the diets are good. Let me also add that she could very well be eating her cagemates poop, I don't know if it's hers or his....I just caught her eating it. A little disturbing.
