My Saffy just had the same kind of irregular poos as your bun. I got her to the vet and found she had a tooth in the back that needed a serious trimming. It's odd, isn't it? Saffy was eating well, too!
Apparently, small, dark poos can also mean dehydration.
Saffy's gut was somewhat solid so the vet also gave her some fluids and allowed her to come home as she was eating and drinking well.
Her tummy softened up and her poos were getting back to normal by that evening.
A trip to the vets is always best. Had I just left Saff, I could have lost her.

Thankyou everyone
I wondered about dehydration so I've been feeding them extra grass and popped a bit of avipro in their water (they love the taste)
I'm pretty sure it's Skye, I will be keeping a close eye on here and might nip to the vets for a teeth check tomorrow "just in case"

This is so weird, she has not stopped eating all day, but her poos are tiny, where is it all going :?

she's never out of her hay box, she's always munching away :?
I saw her grinding her teeth just now though so we will be off to the vet presently. wish I'd done it yesterday to save the £130 but at least it will be a lesson to me :roll::lol: wish her luck please x
