Snowball has suffered with soft poos since changing her over to pellets. She is on excell which are alot better for her, poo wise, than the P@H pellets.
She sits in her poos and ends up with dirty bum. She had a bath last night and today she is the same. :?
Getting frustrated now, the other buns are fine on the excell even little Snowie who joined us last week.
I have on order some SS and A@P. Is there one which is generally better than the other for soft poos?
Thing is she was fine on the tesco mix :?
Any advice before i go mad washing dirty bums everyday?
 
Just pulled this off R Rehome info

Dirty Bottoms
If you find your rabbit is producing a large amount of soft poo rather than the usual 'currents' then you may be feeding too many pellets or a pellet that is to low in fibre. Try reducing the amount of pellets and topping up the diet with more hay. Checking the nutritional information on the back of the bag, fibre should be at least 18-20%.

If you are worried about your rabbit's health or diet discuss it with a rabbit savvy vet. They will be able to advise you what is best for your particular rabbit.

hope it helps
 
My Twinkle suffered with a dirty bottom for a few months after I got her. Finally sorted her out by getting her onto SS and reducing the amount of pellets she had. Also changed the hay to one she loves so she is eating so much better.

Lots of hay and veg and half a handful of SS in the morning only.

Only problem I have with her now is a stained bottom!!! But hoping that will eventually go.

Just cut down on the pellets and get her more onto hay and veg. And let me know if you find anything that cleans a bottom well!!!
