Yea, I realized how loud they can and do fart the first time I got pooped on by my pastel. He was on my lap and his whole body kind of made this continuous "S" shape and I freaked out thinking something was wrong. Then the peep, poop, and huge fart followed all over my thighs. Needless to say that now, if I have him out after he has eaten and not crapped I always have an old towel under him.
