Is this normal?? Special poo question.

Milly is now just over 3 months old and recently I have noticed the odd special poop in her cage near her normal ones. She is not unwell and is no different in herself, she is still a little tinker.

Is this normal to just find the odd one??
 
Are they squishy, like the caecals (sp?) ? I've been wondering the same thing myself as I've just found a few on top of the pile of normal poops, both buns seem fine in themselves so I have no clue what's caused it :?

Yeah the squish poo that looks like a miniture bunch of grapes. I just call them special poops cause I can't pronounce it. There is the odd one or two near her normal poops.
 
They would normally eat these (as you know) - but perhaps the odd stray one is nothing to worry about. It is something I would keep an eye on (as it were!)
 
These should usually be eaten so you shouldn't see them left around the hutch. Sometimes it can be that they have had too many pellets or grss or veg, perhaps a new food that has made them taste different. Keep a close eye to ensure things quickly return to normal. A day or two on hay and water only is sometimes necessary to get back to normal.
