A poop Log

[Mordaith]

While most of the time his poop is normal healthy looking bunny poop. Twice in the last two weeks Fox has pooped out a ‘log’ of poop that seems to just be made of other smaller poops stuck together.

 

This poop is smellier and I think is that stuff they eat in the mornings. Is he just making too much?

 On the vets advice I have recently decreased pellets and increased greens. He eats loads of Romain lettuce. Usually going through a head every three to four days.

What you’re describing is a cecotrope, so you’re very right about it being one of the things they eat in the mornings. If you’re seeing cecals, that means your bunny is producing too many of them. That’s usually a result of a diet that’s too rich, so perhaps you could try lessening the amount of Romaine he’s getting and see if that helps!

There is a great tread with good helping links for bunny poop here on diet & care section.
