Poos smaller than normal

For the last few days Tila's poos have been a bit smaller in size than normal. He is still eating, drinking and even pooping as much, but just smaller. I gave his tummy a good feel and it feels all normal - not hard or bloated with gas or anything, nice and soft. Should I be worried?
 
it is deffo something to keep an eye on... are they still moist and break apart ok?

Alvin sometimes gets stasis and his poops get smaller and dried out like little stones a day or two before.

if i spot it i usually just give just hay until they are back to normal, no treats no pellets much to his disgust :oops:
 
Small poos often indicate a Dental problem.
Tila would benefit from a Dental check by the Vet.

I seem to remember you posted recently about Tila having a mucky bum ?
That is another indicator of Dental problems.

Small poos mean reduced GI motility. Unless the cause is identified and delt with reduced GI gut motility can lead on to GI stasis which, as you probably know, can be very serious.

Good luck with the Vet check :)
 
His poos still look normal - just smaller.

He has no incisor teeth, but I may have to get his molars checked.

His bum wasn't 'mucky' as such, it just had a few pieces of poo dried to it and he wouldn' let be brush them off :lol:

He was at the vets yesterday for his trouser clip and the vet gave him a quick look over, she said he seemed to be doing well.

Could it be the baytril? He had a two-week break and has started back on it last weekend.
 
did the vet actually examine his teeth as sometimes a dental molar prob isnt spotted until bunny is GAd.

i would be evry watchful over those tiny poos...as jane said it is usually a gi motility prob.

one of mine gets it a lot.
