poo in a chain

this morning i noticed a number of poos that were linked together what does this mean xx

You can make a tiny necklace!

Sorry, serious now - it usually happens when the bun is moulting and the hair passing through links the poops together. Ensure bunny is drinking well, perhaps provide a bowl of water as well as a bottle and feed plenty of fibre rich foods (hay and leafy veg/wild leaves - see foraging 2011 for ideas) -you can leave veg wet to increase water intake too.
 
Aaaah, the joys of poo bracelets. :lol:

When bunnies moult, they'll ingest more hair and this comes out with the poo, stringing them together. I always take it as a good sign - far better for the hair to be working its way right through than to be causing a blockage.

It can help to make sure they're drinking plenty (mine prefer slightly warm water so I refill their bowl several times a day).
 
Agree with the others, moulting bun can = stringy poop.

Some people say that pineapple (must be fresh) can help break down any hair. I gave mine a syringe full each of freshly squeezed pineapple yesterday. Be careful not to give too much though due to the sugar content.
