Acting normal but not pooping as much

[CocoLoco]

Hi all,

My rabbit has not been pooping as much as normal although he still have regular looking poops, his litter box is not that full even after 3-4 days. We did get a new litter box for him so idk if it’s just him getting used to it still. He’s eating fine as normal and not lethargic at all, still quite active. We did line a section of his playpen with cardboard cause he kept chewing and eating the mat flooring we had for him. So he’s been chewing and ingesting some cardboard, idk if that’s anything to do with it. His diet is alfalfa hay and pellets. Haven’t introduced fresh greens yet as he’s still 12 weeks old. Should i be worried and book a vet visit?

Yes, straight away

And remove all cardboard too.

But if we remove the cardboard he would eat the mat instead (waterproof mat) is that not more dangerous?

Remove the mat too. He needs to be kept away from anything that’s not digestible if eaten

If i remove the mat the flooring is just our carpet and he might ingest that as well. Is cardboard not digestible? I thought it was. If so, what kind of flooring should i use for his pen?

Vinyl flooring with edges secured down by aluminium edging strips to prevent the Rabbit nibbling the edges .

Or preferably heavy duty rubber interlocking stable matting

Hi, Better remove everything which is chewable. Last month my Bunny chew her plastic litter box...now I lost her. Please don't delay.
