Barney's poos are a bit runny

He's eating fine and plenty of hay but his poos are occassionally not forming properly, quite wet etc - not full on runny/diahorea. It seems to be after he's had a few pellets - he's on Excel Lite at the moment and was on normal Excel at Tracey's - we've moved him over gradually so it's not a dramatic change that has caused it.

He's eating a piece of carrott and spring greens at night and unlimited hay throughout the day.

I did remove all pellets from him one day and there was alot less runny poos - I recall reading on her that SS is better for buns who are prone to runny poos - is this the general consensus?
 
:wave: Try cutting out the veg and see if that helps. If you want to try changing to SS and don't have any at the moment I have some here you can try.:) PM'd you
 
If he is an adult Bun and is a good hay eater I'd leave off the pellets all together. I find its usually the concentrated feedstuff that cause runny poo rather than the Veg.

Janex :D
 
He's 2-3 as far as Tracey was aware. He eats fine and scoffs anything we put in front of him so I'm not overly concerned, I just think he doesn't get on well with the Excel pellets.
 
well everyone knows what I think :roll: I sound like a stuck record - shame I'm not on commision with SS :lol:
 
I battled the sticky poo for a long time with Pooples. I changed everything but the pellets. Then after much reading I decide to cut way back on his pellets, no sticky poo since then! :D
