There is nothing wrong w/ that. All you got is a string of poos, and they are connected, the last poo hasn't come up yet. It's not stuck in there. But if you want to pull it out, that's fine too.

IF they eat some fiber, like cotton, and they didn't digest it, that string will mix w/ the regular poos, thus, a string of poos

hmm, thats strange.
sorry i cant offer much advice.. you know grumpy better than anyone, and if you think that something is wrong, its best to fallow your gut. Maybe you could ring up the vet, tell them what is going on, they may know what you can do. in the meantime, lots of hay and water, and not a lot of extras (treats)
hope he is alright!

Click to expand...

If he is sitting hunched up, and not eating when he normally would be then he needs to see the vet. Only you know your bunny, so if you have any doubts you should always go with your gut instinct and call the vet.

have you felt his tummy?

hes done a load of poos which is odd for him as he usually only has 1 or 2 stray ones but they look normal

if hes hunched up and not interested in food take him to the vet... it'll either put your mind at ease or you will find out whats wrong and be able to sort it. hope ur bun feels better soon and good luck xx

he might have gas like my bunny did.. he had GI stasis.

If hes bloated i would get him to the vets asap, gas is painful for bunnies

Sorry just caught up with this again...

If his tummy is bloated and he is sitting hunched up uninterested in food he needs to see the vet tonight. You can't wait with rabbits. People put them to bed thinking they are just ' a bit off colour' and then are surprised when they wake up to find they have died. I'm not saying that to scare you, I'm just saying that always follow your gut instinct and if you think he is ill have him seen by the vet.

but i think you should follow ur guts with this. i thought my shauny wasnt right but left it for bout 13hrs cause my o/h thought he would be ok (never again, he felt so guilty). had to take him to the emergency vets at 11.30 sat, thankgod we gt there in time.
loads of hugs.

thanks o/h didnt realise the severity of the problem i dont think i was getting a bit mad and frustrated at him.

anyway, hes in the vets overnight they said it was gut stasis. i asked if there was anything i should have done and they said no. it was the same vet who put my mum and dads dog down not so long ago. so i think he felt sorry for me.
