Excess Cecotropes

SkegMag

Warren Scout
Suki has produced three lots of these in his cage over the last day and a half.
He's on Excel pellets, about an eggcup per day. He's been on these for a long time and up to now not had any probs. (He won't have SS)
He has a few veg (mainly carrot tops with parsley/kale/cauli leaves/v. small cube carrot) morning and evening.
Yesterday, I cut out his 'Naturals' treats.
He eats a fair bit of meadow hay.
Neutered about 3 weeks ago.
No other health probs.
How should I try to rectify this, please?
 
I know carrot can produce excess cecotropes in my buns if they have too much. Perhaps reduce it to once or twice a week. I only feed mine carrot as a treat once or twice a week.
 
Ok, thank you, I'll cut him down on that, though he only has about an inch cube per day.
He's eating Cecotropes in the normal way, and pooing ok.
