Stringy poos

I know this has been covered before but can't find what I'm after.

We just cleaned Oscars toilet out and there are a few poos strung together, I know this is because of all the hair he is swallowing but I don't understand why it is a bad thing :roll:

After all if it goes in, it has to come out,we are grooming him twice a day and getting loads of hair off when we stroke him and last week started giving kitty malt as I read on here to use it.

What more can we do?

Is it normal to expect a certain amount of these stringy poos?

Thanks in advance
Sue.x.
 
Aww hi Sue, he will pass some stringy poos as you can't stop him swallowing a bit of hair but you are doing all the right things to prevent a large blockage XXX
 
Yes, mine still get them but I brush them all the time. It is so warm at the moment I think it's to be expected to some extent. b-m
 
How many is it "safe" to find at a time though :?

The one we got today was four poos in a chain, I haven't seen that many before in any of my bunns :roll:
 
Um, normally mine produce 2-4 in a row, but not that often. I don't think you need to worry, just keep brushing as much as you can off, but I know it's hard - Sylvia seems to have a neverending moult :shock:
