Hi,
I've got my friend's housebunnies living in their pen my hall for a week. They are quite lad back bunnies but it's obviously a bit stressful to move to a new house and they aren't going to get as much freedom as they are used to as they need to be supervised to be let out here. The pen is about 3' x 6' so they aren't hugely cramped though.
They're still using their litter tray fairly well but there's been a number of caecal droppings in the cage in the last couple of days that they've been here. Is this anything to worry about or is it just likely to be the stress of the move and possibly that I've not got their feed exactly the same as they are used to? They get unlimited medow hay with pellets one day and dried grass the next and some fresh veg every day. I know they've been changed to supa excel pellets fairly recently but I don't think they had any trouble up to now.
