Poo question

Hi, I have a question about Hazel. Someone is doing runnyish poos, they look like lots of tiny moist clusters of poo rather than the usual singular round ones. I have laid off the vegs and dandelion leaves and not put them on grass but the funny poos are still happening. Now, I think it might be Hazel as when i checked her bottom, there was some staining around her nether regions, not poo but an orangy stain. Could this be wee staining as she is very white underneath, or does she have runny bum or is it even her? What could be causing it? I haven't changed their pellets for ages. (PaH ones). Thanks

My bunny is like that sometimes, he only has hay and bunny brunch but I don't know if I feed him the correct quantity. He eats them too sometimes which is normal I think. My bunny also gets stained because he is white all over, I change his toilet area alot during the day because he likes sitting in his tray.

I think it sounds like they are night pellets of caecotrophs. These are the pellets that rabbits eat directly from the anus (delightful creatures) usually during the evening. The normal round pellets we see are the final product of their digestive process.

Caecotrophs look like miniature clusters of grapes and are coated in a mucus. Sometimes excess pellets and, I believe, are produced if a rabbit is getting too much pellets and needs more fibre. Try upping the amount of hay that your bunny gets and cut down their pellets. They should only get a small amount of pellets as they need to eat lots of hay to keep their gut regular.

The orange staining may have come about because of whatever food she is eating. Sometimes foodstuffs stain rabbit pee and they can do some alarming colours, like red and orange.

Thanks for that, I think I may be feeding them too much pellets then. I was worried they would be hungry due to the cold. It might not be Hazel then, if wee can stain their fur. I was worried one of them had a problem with their gut. I'll cut down the pellets and increase the hay. Is it pok to put them on the grass then?

Thanks for your help
