  Hi there!
  
  My 4-month old mini-lop has been having a really gurgly/grumbly tummy lately, and I don’t know what it’s from. I only give her parsley as her greens, so I tried just putting her on a hay/pellet diet for now to see if it helped. Nothing else seems to be wrong with her, so I’m assuming it’s gas.
  
  I read that giving them pediatric simethicone can help with gas. I gave her a dose today, and it actually seemed to help! But now it’s been 6 hours & her tummy’s at it again. Do I give her another dose? Or is there something else I should be doing?

  You can give her as much simethicone as needed.

  Tummy massages can help too, to break up the gas bubbles. Italian parsley gives one of mine gas, so I have to buy curly parsley only.

  Maybe you should stop the parsley for awhile? I feed my bun with a fussy tummy cilantro and thought that must be pretty basic, but someone else said it totally destroys their rabbit’s tummy.

  Thank you all for your help! I had been giving her the italian parsley, so I’ll switch to another leafy green.
  Is it also normal for them to have a bunch of soft, smelly cecals pellets with gas? I just want to make sure she isn’t sick

  Well, if the droppings are sticking to her you probably will have to switch up the diet. Hay hay and more hay. Those wet stinky droppings are the pits and they stick! There seem to be a lot of people writing about that lately, so I’d suggest looking up those about sticky poops/cleaning bunnies if this continues or starts to stick. Bleh! It can be cured!
