Thank you for explaining why weighing poo is not an accurate comparison. Your idea of taking poo photos is better than my counting poo or saving it in a plastic bag for comparison purposes.
Syringe feeding can be stressful for bunny and human. Toffee sounds like he knew you were helping him.
Sending vibes he will continue to do well.

I like the idea of saving it in plastic bags, I might do that in the future, or at least a sample so it's easy to see the change in size. Toffee has become a lot tamer! He was sitting right next to me last night.

these poo color is very average and it shows the GI tract is average at best. A good rabbit diet is compose of goldish color rabbit poo.

Agreed, those pictures are from when he was ill, though they were showing his improvement day by day. This was his poo once well. Though I'm taking Shimmer's point that it would be darker if he ate more grass (he isn't keen on it, the other one normally chomps through his bowls of grass).
