What are baby buns poo supposed to be like? Pom Pom's poos were really dry but I hardly ever saw her eat anything other than museli and she didn't drink much water either now that I think about it :shock: and our previous bunny to her was on a forage only diet so her poos were dark and soft. My pairs poos are round, dark, wet to touch but not soft and they smell a little is this normal *pompoms never smelled*? They eat their pellets, tons of hay and drinking lots

This is what they look like normal?
 
Pooka's were like this to begin with. Once she got into hay at my house they started being less dark, and obviously they got bigger as she did, they were tiny to begin with. I think when she was in with her brother and sisters they didn't have as much hay, or mum ate it all. Whilst they're getting more pellets to help them grow their poops are going to be darker, and I think alfalfa hay over others will also make them less golden.

Edit: it just occurred to me that you said they have a smell. What sort of smell? Sounds like an odd question but if its a sweet smell, I would recommend getting them checked by a vet, as the only other thing that comes to mind is coccidiosis (sp?) and that can cause a sweet, farmy smell, is serious and young buns can be prone to it
 
It's not sweet it reminds me somewhat of special poos? It's not a really strong smell, it could be pee mixed in :lol:

eta I just went and smelled some which were out of the tray and they dont smell at all, I must of gotten a pee soaked one :lol:
