Does changing pellets change bunnies poo colour?

Yeah, the size is bigger, it's just the colour is darker.

They look about as dark as A & B's 'grass poos' I would say - their 'hay poos' are usually anywhere between the lighter ones you posted and a golden brown. The 'grass poos' are usually a bit smaller than 'hay poos' as well.

Not that I, erm, study them really closely or anything. :oops:
 
I am now fighting the urge to go out with my torch and study this evening output. :oops: Do you think we might get into trouble for a thread in rabbit care discussion getting a bit gross and giggly?

:lol: I can tell my boys poops apart - I think the vet thinks I'm odd :lol:
 
they look like good poos to me! My lot have poos like this on SS but you'll find if you squish them they'll probably be lovely and golden inside :mrgreen:

Readigrass makes my lot have black poos

Spenser gets a handful of this daily, but he's a bit off it or I would have thought that might explain his dark poos. I lust after crumbly poos... :p

My ultimate test of vets or rabbity people is to start a chat about poops :mrgreen: if they don't love poops they can't love bunnies! The final straw with my last vets was that she didn't appreciate my poo samples. My vet now always has a good nose in the carriers at the poops :lol:

:lol::lol::lol: I used to be able to ... now I can only do it if one drops out of a bunny bum while I'm nearby - then I can play match the poo. :lol::lol:

I love crumbly poos - especially those ones that just seem to disintegrate to dust when you pick them up. I'll get my coat. :oops:
 
:lol: My boys rarely oblige by pooping in the carrier!

These poops are crumbly and lighter inside. I think they're eating a few more brambles than normal at the moment - that might make a difference.

Alfie and Bubbles don't either. :roll: The last time we went to the vet, Alfie had a poo half hanging out (I think it was attached by hair to the one behind it :mrgreen:). It was there before we went and it was still there when we got back. 5 mins after getting home it was gone. :lol::lol:

Spenser had a couple dangling from his rear like a second tail this afternoon. He'd been in his basin, and flopped into a very relaxed pose when he got out - the darkness on whit fur caught my eye and of course I had to investigate. :oops::lol:
 
Clover is the one who will always have one stuck in his fur when the vet check their bums :roll:

He is so much softer with his fur than the others, and there always seems to be just one stray poop that gets wedged in the fur....
 
:lol::lol::lol: The indignities our poor bunnies have to suffer. :lol:

I'll be taking poo pics today. ;)
 
Here are some of the offerings from yesterday afternoon/evening and overnight. All of them are a little lighter irl than they look on my screen but there are at least 3 different shades in there. :mrgreen:

I don't think I want to post Spenser's now. :( Let's just say we have a long way to go with hay eating in this neck of the woods. :oops::roll:
 
Only on RU could we be calling poo beautiful and get away with it. :lol::lol::lol:

They're not always quite so golden but I got a different bale of meadow hay last week and they seem to be munching lots more.
