my podgy lop rabbit has mainly a diet of hay and very few pellets. when i had him from a rescue home he was overweight and so i stuuck to his regular diet to help him lose it. he is slimmer now but every now and again gets this mucus which comes out onto the carpet sometimes on its own or sometimes accompanied by solid droppings coated in the mucus.
hoping to get an appointment at vets tomorow, but can anyone put my mind at rest? he is currently on only hay and a few pellets...
cheers
 
thanks for teh link

its more watery then anything and it isnt see through like someone suggested on the other post.

i couldnt tell if its really jelly like as i only see it when trodden into my carpet!

just looking now he has left a good pile of solid pellets next to my tv so it isnt a constant thing
