Hello,
So my 14 week old Lionhead, Hoggle has developed some sort of intolerance to his pellets, he has been having 1 tbsp of Burgress junior and dwarf nuggets a day for the first month then 2 weeks ago after having his nuggets he produced excessive droppings that where wet but not runny, darker than usual and all different shapes and sizes. I gave him only hay for 2 days and it went back to normal, following giving him a few nuggets his droppings went back to the wet ones. I've checked the ingredients and there is a lot of wheat in them... so am wondering if it's that?! Since then he is eating a lot of hay as usual, and I am trying to slowly introduce enough veg into his diet but every few days his droppings go back to wet and squishy. He is 14 weeks old, is acting normal is eating and drinking properly but the poor thing is getting fed up of me having to constantly clean up his poopy bum. Does anyone have any advice for rabbits with sensative tummys and also what I can give him to put a bit of weight back on as I am worried that he is loosing weight. I will be taking him to the vets as soon as I can, but just wanted to know if there was something I could do in the meantime.
