  When I first got Tei on Monday and she went it was normal brown pellets but now they are black so I’m getting quite worried cause her diet is normal at least I think it’s normal it is Timothy hay and some of those nuggets so help I’m scared if this is a sign of sickness or something since I have had some issues in the past and black stools usually were a very bad sign

  My buns poops change color a lot depending on what type of hay they are eating (and even between different cuts of hay), and that’s normal.
  
  Are they still round, uniform, and firm? If you break one open it should be mostly tiny chewed up hay pieces.
  
  Here’s a handy reference as to what’s normal and what’s cause for alarm with bunnny poops: https://imgur.com/a/5N4lD

  You’re welcome! Also note that very dark poops can mean a bit too much protein in the diet. Are Tei’s pellets timothy or alfalfa based? If he’s over a year old, you should slowly transition him to timothy pellets if he’s still eating alfalfa.

  She eats Timothy hay based pellets and she seems to love them even though I try to make sure she eats more hay than the pellets

  That’s good, how many pellets does she get per day? And how old is she?
