        Ok so I found some cecotrophs in my bunnies litter box today.  The problem is that she is not going to be able to eat them because I have a grate over her box.  Am i supose to take them out and put them in her cage?

          No, you don’t need to do that. Rabbits generally eat them directly from the anus (sorry that sounds horrible but I couldn’t think of a more gentle way to say this). Sometimes if they are super furry like your little one, they may stick to their fur and perhaps that’s why she didn’t eat those and they fell in the litter box.

            If she’s leaving cecals in the litterbox, you might need to re-evaluate her diet. Rabbits can have excess cecals if their diet is too rich.

            What does her daily diet consist of: amount and type of pellets, amount and type of veggies, and what kind of hay (alfalfa or timothy)?
