I just wanted to say thank you again. In only one day Icho has started eating all his cecotropes and returned to his normal wee.

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Are these normal stools?

First of all, thanks so much indeed for that complete answer :thumb:
About the grass, I will introduce it very, very slowlyand regarding what you've said about pellets and greens sounds very sensible to me.
He is having water from a bowl. The very first day he came home I tried a bottle but he didn't like it. So I am keeping only his bowl so far.
To be honest he seems to be eating hay quite well, so I do not think there's a problem with this brand. But I will listen to you and start buying hay online. Probably I will get different types of hay to stimulate him
Thanks again for all your help
No worries, glad his tummy is better :thumb:
As a rule of thumb, he should be eating a pile of hay the size of himself everyday. That will help keep his tummy healthy and will also help to prevent dental problems.
You'll also find it cheaper to buy hay online, especially the last 2 websites. You can also help him to eat more by making it more interesting - providing it both in a rack and on the floor/in a tray, hiding food in it, stuffing toilet rolls or willow hay balls with hay etc. Having a variety of hays keeps rabbits interested too, so if he likes the Woodlands stuff you can still give him this as well as others.
