Hi i have 3 buns kept together and a few of the poos have become smaller wetter and darker!(don't know whos doing it!?)

I have had the buns 6 months and their poos have always been the same, large, sort of golden brown and quite dry.

There diet hasn't changed really except a couple of handfuls of grass recently could that be it.

they have tons of rye and timothy hay, 2 handfuls of oxbow pellets, veggies once a day and the occasional handful of readigrass, they have always had a good variety of veg and tolerated it well. which makes me think it could be the grass.

I know poos are a good indicator of rabbit health, can anyone advice me, what i should be looking out for, doing etc. thank you:)
 
too much veggies. Stop giving them any green for 7 days. You can also separate the buns in 3 different cages to observe which poos belongs to which bun

Thanks for the reply!

I don't really want to seperate them as i had a couple of problems, fighting etc when they were seperated from each other for a few hours a while back, also i don't have 3 spare hutches! may cut out their veggies and see what happens!
