I know it's soon after we got him but with the sneezes and the shock CAECALS I found in his cage just now it's better now than never.

Is it ok for him to leave some caecals?

Good luck for this afternoon.

It's not 'ok' as such for him to leave them, but it is common. Its important to work out why he is leaving them so that you can make any necessary adjustments to prevent it happening again. If a rabbit is leaving cecals it can be to do with too much protein or sugar in their diet, it could be depression, it could be something simple like he was 'interupted', it could be a mild dysbiosis or aother physical cause.

What's his diet like?

He has unlimited hay (woodlands camomile harvest cos he's a spoilt bun and that's what he had before we got him), and a small amount of pellets (pets at home dwarf rabbit nuggets) once a day literally a pinch, fresh water always available. He's a really good hay eater, he cleared his breakfast hayrack in an hour :shock:

We've only had him since Friday and he's approx 9/10 weeks old.
