Poppy stinks!

Hello!

Poppy's poo is wreaking at the moment and she is quite smelly too :?. I've checked her bottom and she is clean, her poos are normal solid currants and I havent seen any caecotrophs. She's well in herself and is eating perfectly...LOTS of hay, 1/2 handful of food, greens, strawberries, cabbage, grass, dandilion etc etc!!!!

I've read a similar post recently saying that it was cabbage that causes the pong but she's only had cabbage today and she was smelling yesterday (she'd had greens). I'm a bit worried as I don't want her to get flystrike...what do you think I should do???? Cut out greens/cabbage?? Vets??

Any ideas/tips to get rid of the stink greatly appreciated!!!!!

Edit - She has been spayed and all the foods, she has had before!

Hiya.

I'd cut out everything but HAY for a couple of days and then gradually re-introduce HALF the amount of pellets.
Then after another couple of days just give a SMALL portion of dark leafy greens.
I'd avoid the cabbage (has a similar effect on me ..SORRY too much information there :roll: ) and one strawberry as a very OCCASSIONAL treat.
Herbs such as Basil or Parsley are also popular with bunnies.
Hope this helps Poppy be less....well.....POPPY :wink:

That's an excellent idea, especially the dandilion, rabbit shouldn't eat too much of it. It's too exotic, over here, dandilion is 100% consider as a wild weed and nothing else.

Will the basil and parsley combat the smell of the poo??

She only had the strawberry (just 1/2) and dandilions yesterday so I don't think that it's that which is making her pong. She's been smalling since Friday but we havent given her anything other than greens before then... :?

Will try reducing her pellets and see if that gets rid of it!!!
