If youre scared its a parasite, if you havent thrown it out or killed it yet, I would save it in a plastic bag and freeze it in case you need to show a vet.

Heres a few threads that I found that might be helpful to you:

Thank you so much. This sounds exactly like what I was experiencing. I had her on aspen and it gets moist from being misted. The poop looked fairly normal except for a slight amount of mucous. Her bedding has only been spot treated and hasn't ever been completely changed. I switched her to paper towels for the time being. I will buy new aspen soon. Thanks again, you have no idea how worried I was.
