Small pooes cause for concern if bunny is still eating?

When i got home last night i went into the bunny room and noticed lots of very small mishapened pooes in lilac and shadows pen, I am thinking it is shadow as her poo has always seemed smallar than lilacs but she is still fine in herself and eating etc
Ive got in this morning and theres more but she has just eaten her breakfast and seems perfectly normal
do i need to be worried? im going to get some pineapple on the way home from work tonight see if that helps
 
Some of my buns do dfferent size poos every now and then, if they don't look to out of the ordinary I tend not to worry. As long as the consistency is the same and the size chance isn't too great it should be fine.
 
With the change in the weather they may also alter if they arn't drinking enough. Perhaps a drop of apple juice in the water might just encourage them to drink a little more.

There house bunnies and drink loads of water!!!! get through a bottle a day
 
Hiya I dont think it is a cause for concern, but it gives a clue that Shadow may be eating too much dried food (just one possibility)
If you feel this may be the case, I suggest you cut right back on the dried food, give some pineapple juice and perhaps some Kitty Malt for three days in the trot.
It is important to get the droppings back to a reasonable size, as if you ignore this now, problems could develop later.
Or Shadow may have a small amount of fur in her digestive system, so this may need to be cleared to ensure proper gut movement.
Does she eat enough hay?

Best wishes Adele
 
One of my rabbits always has much smaller poos than the other one and doesn't eat nearly as much hay, although she will eat dried grass. How can I encourage her to eat more hay? I have bought hay from different pet shops but don't seem to find one that she will really eat!
 
This happened to Evo a few weeks ago. A dose of Infacol and Kittymalt for 3 days, as suggested by Adele sorted him out.

well isnt that just typical :roll: :lol: :lol: ...it does sound like something to do with her moult then Marie, so perhaps the Kittymalt may work, as you just have to squirt that at Shadows mouth (or onto a front paw) and she should groom it off.

You have some beautiful bunnies Marie, Shadow is a great name, we have a Shadow too :wink: ..and she follows you everywhere...just like...well...erm a shadow I guess :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hope your Shadow is producing mega sized boulders soon, Kittymalt tends to work wonders:wink: :)
