Hi, just wondering if any of the very experienced members on here can help me.
My bun is nearly 16 weeks, and has unlimited hay, excel pellets, small amounts of fresh veg and herbs and occasional treats.
He is eating drinking and pooing normally. He just did a load of hard poos on he sofa! and when I cleared them up I noticed a few looked darker and felt wetter than the others. Generally they are able to he squished and broken in half to see the consistency inside, these ones squished more easily, and some liquid came out when i squashed them. then just squashed flatter rather than breaking in half. The are defo not caecals, they are the hard waste ones.
I just wondered if this is normal and ok, his poos do sometimes vary in size, did a couple of very big ones yday, and i have noticed that they do seem to have more of a smell than I can recall when i first got him, I dont know if this is becasue I have taken more notice of them and notice more subtle things that were there before anyway, or whether its the excel causing it, i plan to change as to ss when hes a bit older anyway.
Quite often the pellets feel slightly wet around them (i often pick them up as soon as they are passed) but they are always nice shaped and 'hard'.
Do I need to worry about the ones today? Could it just be something different he has eaten - he had a tiny bit or strawberry last night.
Thank you in advance for ur help
