He seems okay... I'm concerned he's bored of it though... And didn't eat much last night which caused the gas
x I mean I wouldn't really know... But he seems fine... Like he seems just fine it's just his litter tray looks terrible. He looked uncomfortable this morning and I noticed there was no poos and William confirmed he had gas, but other than that he seems okay.
If you have time at some point do you think you could tell me what you tried feeding your bunny? Or any suggestions of things I could try? I'd be really happy to try everything only issues is everytime I try something that goes bad I have to give him a few days to get back to slightly better before I try something new takes a while but happy to try everything and anything really
So far these are all bad :
Ribwort
Readigrass
Alfalfa hay
Green oats
Pellets
Fibafirst
Oat hay
Botanical hay
Timothy hay from timothyhay.co.uk is what he has as his only hay now, and if you give him just that he's better... Not perfect probably 3 cow pats a day on average and the rest are golden poos which is a massive improvement x

Yes of course haha I was going to do that when I started this thread but then decided it was a bit grim [emoji38][emoji38]
Okay so here's a few pictures they're all taken over weeks and I don't have any of the sample I gave which was dark huge poos but hopefully when he starts producing more again I'll get some pictures also need to get some of the proper cow pats he does.
Also have him eating a dandelion to counteract the grim [emoji38][emoji38] x

Yes I thought his normal poos where quite a good colour but William said they were far too light and that Clementines which are much darker looked far healthier but were too soft [emoji38] also hers were a little on the large size. It's a poop mind field.
He said that golden poop is one of the signs seen in megacolon bunnies. I'm personally not too concerned about them it's the other types of poo that worry me

love I would be astounded if Megacolon was the problem. As I said, that's just my unqualified thoughts !!
Obviously I am just some numpty mad Rabbit woman and I am not in any way Veterinary qualified, but having seen the poo pics and also pics of Atticus himself
Another question, did Atticus's poo problems start after he was neutered ?
I was hoping it would be something else but William thinks it's megacolon. I've suspected somethings been wrong for a while with him honestly but was hoping it would pass but then it never did.. It was after he was neutered but he, has always had a 'sensitive tummy' which has just got progressively worse x
Fleurs and Clementines are far darker than his tho [emoji38] photos only of the messier ones but he's seen a sample of darker huge but hard pellet ones that were like oval? Felt sorry for him having to pass them also looked at a book with him written by that rabbit specialist, which showed super clearly the types and his looked very similar - there's no real diagnosis because William says it's not understood enough but it matches well with all previous findings on megacolon and a few other digestive issues which all overlap in his opinion x
