Weird poops

I just came home from work and discovered these on my carpet

The first one was huge almost like a cat few and there was 3 of the little poops around the carpet they were soft but no smell, there was a pile of normal round ball poop next to the litter tray :roll:
Why is she having poops like this? The only thing that's changed is I mix her meadow hay with Timothy hay and stopped giving her musli as she won't eat her pellets that way, she ate all her pellets yesterday. Her poop seems normal now as she dropped a few when she ran over to me :lol:
 
It probably is just the change in diet. If she's otherwise fine and still having normal poops too I'd just keep an eye on her. Hope it's a one time thing! :)
 
How old is she?
How many pellets are you feeding?

ETA Any change in diet (apart from hay) needs to be done very gradually - ie mix a few pellets in with her usual muesli and then over the course of, say, a fortnight, add more pellets and less muesli, so by the end of week three she should just be on pellets. A sudden change can upset their digestive system.

Incidentally, although pellets are generally favoured (I feed pellets) some people say muesli is fine, as long as the rabbit isn't selective feeding - ie it eats all the muesli and doesn't just pick out what she likes.

She's 5/6/7 months :lol: she was on pellets but my husband gave her musli and she liked it more than the pellets so I mixed it but again she would only eat the musli so the only way to get her on the pellets like I want is to not give any musli. She only has an egg cup of food
 
A sudden change in food - or not enough hay - can lead to strange poo.
I would keep a careful watch on her.
