Hi everyone
i hope you are well and enjoyed the festivities :)

I was cleaning luckys hutch out last and off he went into the corner of the room to do some poops, when i cleaned them i noticed that there was a tiny bit of what looks like diarrhea there. It was like little tiny balls in a soft paste like substance.

Other than that he is eating, drinking and playing normally.

I have gone to feed him tonight and there is a little bit more about a quarter of a teaspoon worth. Should i be worried?

Thanks

Do you mean cecotrophs the soft poo that a Rabbit should eat directly from his/her bum or true diarrhoea ?

Thank you for your reply and the link.

Now i have seen the pictures the poops look like the first pictures of the normal ones. Feel better now, I knew that he ate them but i have never seen them before aren't they supposed to eat them all? Does rabbit diarrhea look like normal watery stuff that humans have? Sorry if i round thick and wasting your time but first bunny and a bit worried.
 
If you keep on finding uneaten cecals it might be you are overfeeding bunny. If so, please come back for more help on how much to feed.
