Have you tried giving him baby food when he struggles to eat.

Thank you for the suggestion BodkinBunny I haven't tried that.
Is there a baby food that's very low in starch & fruit sugars?
He got mild dysbiosis easily until I excluded all starchy veg & fruit sugars from his diet. He's not a gassy bunny, but dysbiosis tends to slow down his caecum & colon even more.

The alternative is making his own - can you use a hand blender on raw veg?

Crackerz I'm wondering if Catkin has a tendancy to a sluggish caecum & lower gut if the poops are like Thumpers big one. It's so simple - if they don't get it out at the bottom end they feel full & don't put any more in at the top end. Most vets use metaclopramide (maxolon) to get the gut going, but it's only effective at the top end - no effect on the lower gut. So you can get in the situation of food whizzing through the top end, but slowing down at the bottom end. The best drug for the bottom end is Zantac (Ranitidine). Some buns - like Thumper just have a bit of a slow lower gut anyway. It may be worth discussing with your vet.

Thanks, I will have a word with the vet. I am really glad Thumper is doing better.

Saw Min, the vet today & asked about the cluster of poops page 18 #180.
He says it means that the bun hasn't eaten much in the last 24 hours, & that some buns do small poops & some do lumps like the photo.

That's interesting, thanks for the update

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: yes, Thumper was doing both at the same time! I couldn't understand how "generous grape pip" poops were still coming out with all that mass in there
