I used to be able to tell what they were eating a lot of times depending on what I found in their poop.

Green and blue bottle flies made the sparkliest imo

Can I borrow a gold bar? I'll give it back

You'll need gold dust but it's applicable with sandpaper I guess. :)

Also, you can keep it.

So eating sandpaper makes your poop gold dust sparkly? Weeeeird.
