I don't see one in that picture, but I'm looking on my phone, and I have old eyes.

I have been staring that this photo for a bit, and I still see nothing other than poop and bedding.

okay, my mistake then! it seemed a little discolored and at the end there was a little white thing, almost like a rough ball, which is what gave me the thought. thanks!

Do a search on "sperm plug", there have been some pictures posted very recently of them.
The white ball is a urate--you'll see one of those with almost every poop.
