I was messing around with my microscope and decided I'd check my sugar gliders' poopy. A couple times throughout it there's what looks like a tube thing with a spiral in it. Like a pulled spring kinda? I'm not sure if this is a type of parasite or just some normal poopy matter.
I tried googling but no luck, so maybe someone here knows.

Probably some kind of plant fiber from what the animal ate. I have studied parasitology, and your description doesn't sound at all familiar. Spirochaetes are spiral in form, but very small. You wouldn't see them without a good quality high power microscope.
