Young Bun
Spike is almost ten years old, and he's always had great litter habits. The last week, however, I've noticed a couple dark stains and stickier poops left behind after he sleeps. The poops in his litter box are the normal, round poops and not at all runny. He's still acting normal. Comes running for his meal, eats lots of hay.
I'm almost thinking the stains and sticky poops are cecotropes, but I still see him eat most of those.
His butt looks clean.
And when he's not sleeping, this doesn't seem to happen. I've only seen these stains after he spends the day sleeping in his log cabin.
Is this an age thing? Do older buns have more accidents when they are asleep? Are we giving him too many greens or pellets? We haven't really changed his diet much, but we can stop giving him lettuce snacks during the day if we have to.
