No, I don't really have any idea, but I really don't think that what I am seeing is worms. I would not rule them out as being present but I think that this is something else.

It doesn't show up as pink on my computer, it shows up as sort of yellowish brown. The food that they eat can indeed cause a change in both color and consistency of their poops.
Although I found several different formulas with a picture of a grey on the bag, none of them on the company web site showed a Senegal as well. There were some showing a Grey and a yellow head Amazon on the bag, this could be a marketing thing for feeds shipped out of the USA. What is your called? They all appear to have dyes in them.
What other brands of pellets does your pet store carry? I will be happy to look them up and try to help you to find the best ones.

I did not specify pellets on the company website so I am relatively certain that I just got whatever product that they produced. The question about pellets was just my mistake in guessing which it was.
