I have a mini lop boy who has had his front teeth removed. We have had him at the rescue for a couple of months now after he came in with flystrike (thankfully it was caught in time).
There are always a lot of caecotrophs in his home. He tends to use his litter tray for proper poops, but the caecotrophs are just in random places - sometimes a lot overnight.
He has a diet of 80% good quality hay and a small amount of SSS pellets, along with a probiotic pellet from the vet (cant remember the name). I have cut down on fresh greens as I thought this may have been the cause, but I am now wondering if he just can't eat them due to no front teeth?
I have a home for this little boy, but I need him to be as healthy as possible before he goes to new home.
Can anyone advise me please?
