Betsy is 9 weeks old. I have just changed her hay tray and it was very smelly with some soft poos in it. She is eating well and seems ok. Could it be too much veg? I have been giving her a small amount of veg daily but maybe it too much for such a young rabbit (not had a baby in a while so not used to how much to give them). Could it also be the change of food? I use excel (she has been having adult, should I get the baby one?) she had pellets before but I am not sure of the brand. She eats plenty of hay.

Thanks. I never actually checked if she had had veg previously, so that might be the problem. She had been having small amounts of grass but I will stop all and see if it improves. She likes her hay. I may also be giving her too many pellets (anither problem with not having had a baby for a long while) so I'll cut those down too

Are you giving her Panacur? I've often found that causes problems, it was a big issue for Dinky. I remember JJ explaining to me that the cecotrophes probably taste different so she's not eating them.
