        Hi everyone,

        I’m a bit worried about one of my buns (Woolly); his poops have been smaller than usual this week. That being said, he’s eating quite well, unlimited access to timothy hay, fresh veggies 2 cups per day (kale, basil, mint, coriander) and roughly 25 grams of pellets per day. Should I be concerned? One thing I’ve noticed is Chewie (my other bun) tends to (inadvertently) push Woolly out of the way when they’re eating hay and Woolly doesn’t tend to eat much hay when Chewie is there (next to him in the litter box). Is it possible he’s not getting enough hay?

            It could be that he’s not getting enough hay. Could you set up two litter tray-hay stations? Or try sectioning off a little area for Woolly to have a good munch.

              I do have two large litter trays, but Chewie tends to follow Woolly and plonk herself right where he’s eating. Might try and section off a bit for him though, thanks for the tip.

                Is he shedding? I often notice smaller poops during a shed. If that’s the case, try grooming more.

                  I’m not 100% sure if he’s shedding, but have given started to brush him a bit more often (much to his distaste!). I did notice he doesn’t drink very much at all, slightly worried, but then again my other bun drinks enough for two (she can go through 2 water bowls in a night, luckily I have 3 ) – so maybe I’ve got two buns on the opposite ends of the water-drinking spectrum?

                    Try offering your greens with lots of water left on them from washing. That should help his water intake a bit.
