For the past week I have found them and they are often being squashed into the floor so it looks like his poo is slightly soft.

I have stopped all veg and cut pellets right back- he already eats tons of hay.

Any other ideas or do I need a vet visit?

I would as it might be a sign of tooth problems (even if there are no other obvious signs) or a mobility problem- ie arthritis.

Ok thanks Jane. I think all his fur can stop him being able to get at them too so will give him a good hair cut tonight as well.

Can I ask, If you say tooth problems, how would this show itself? Willow too has stopped eating her caecals but she is still eating hay and gnawing on the wood of the run!!!

Sammy is the same. When I come home from work there's always a squashed Yukee pile for me to clean up:shock:

As Jane has already suggested, teeth problems, arthritis and is Mr. B overweight at all?This could reduce his ability to reach round and eat his caecals from source.
