there were so many animals on board, i'm sure they didn't shovel their own poop, so how did noah deal with this problem, any ideas?

haha...funny question.
You are seriously bored today, aren't you?
I would imagine Noah, and his family maintained the ark, and all the feces,etc...
It's a crappy job, but someone had to do it.

At the end of forty days and forty nights, there would be a lot of stinky messes on that ark. There would also be the noises from loud animals, too. I would want to jump over the side by then and drown with the wicked people. Noah would have been very busy to clean the messes from thousands of animals, or millions depending on how you decide which animals were on the ark. In the link I provided, the writers actually discuss the problems created by the sanitation issues of having a small ark filled to the brim with animals. Even with vermicomposting, it's not possible.

On the ark was also Noah, his wife, 3 sons and 3 wives... i am sure they all did their share of cleaning up.
there also some who think that the animals where on some sort of hibernation period... or that they ate a lot less meaning that their pooping would be less. also i'm sure that some animals would just eat it. i had a puppy who would eat his poop. YUCK!

It's just a story. Let me guess, those animals were altered by YHWH to not poop until they left the ark.
People actually believe there was a guy named noah who took in every single species in the world into the ark to save from a global flood?

The animals helped each other. The bible teaches us animals were much smarter then. According to the bible In those days the animals could even talk. They could certainly clean up after themselves..

Good question. Maybe they had to hang their bums over the side and poop into the water. It would take some training, but I think it would be worth it!

There are 1.8 million different species of living things on this planet. Religious people are told to believe this crap while they put money in a basket.

Garderobe shafts, probably. And a pitchfork, as one learned answerer suggested. They could have used it for ballast (assuming they had the equivalent of a bilge).

You don't really think that story is literal do you?
There are too many issues (including this one) that would make the story impossible. It is an allegory.
