As usuall lots of pics, and a question!

cami and spice are bonding really well they have been togeather with out any issues for 4 days now! YEAH!!!

90% of peeing is actually in the litterbox, unless i give thema blankie... grrrr

and about half the poo is in the box.. but...... here it comes.... Spice is still having soft poo.... yes im gonna gross you out and put up a pic.. i cant dicribe it.. it is like insead of pellets there logs.... and then she squishes them, it is JUST LIKE a small dog poo.

and she digs inthe litterbox??? no clue here..makes one heck of a mess though.

and now the lazys buns this morning...

tag your it!

face plant! they love there teddy! they were both on it when i went to get my camera but then they moved grrr..

note the basket of toys inthe corner... spice slept in it last night! LOL

 

[HoneyPot]

Those soft poops are cecal poops - they are supposed to eat all of those, but sometimes they may produce too many and don't eat them all.

What kind of food and hay is she eating? Is it alfalfa? Timothy? How many of the soft poops do you see laying around? Does she only do it when she is out with Cami or all the time?

Too much protein can cause extra cecals - alfalfa feed and hay is higher in protein... also some food brand are higher than others, which brand and kind of food are you using? With my guys were young, I switched them off of alfalfa pellets to timothy early because they were all having excess cecals. They should normally be switched to a timothy pellet around 7 months or so... might be different for larger buns.

Also, some of my buns will leave cecals laying around to be territorial.

You should post this question in the main forum - more people will see it there and be able to give some opinions.

 

[jupiterannette]

thanx.. they eat timothy pellet and timothy hey, the pellet is

protien 17%
fat 3%
fiber 12 min 17 max
calcium .9min 1.1 max
phos .65
salt .05 min .15 max
vit A 1000iu/lb


some are the cecals, but others are the big normal poo

and they are in the pen togeather it is there house.

as soon as they are better with the litterbox, they will be free hop like cami was before..

im thinking it is territorial.. she is only 3 mos though, and cami is 1-2 years... and i finnally found a good bun vet to get her spade at... nov 30th is the day!!! hopfully that helps with cami, with spice i want to wait till she is older....

 

[HoneyPot]

hmm... what brand is that? It seems to have a low fibre content and high protein for a Timothy pellet. I would post the picture and your concerns in the main forum - healthy bunnies should not be having excess cecals or soft poops on a regular basis.

:huh

Nadia

 

[naturestee]

What brand is that? No offence, but many alfalfa pellets have lower protein and higher fiber than that. The high protein levels frequently cause excess cecals, especially in adults but sometimes in younger buns too. The low fiber can contribute to that, even if they are eating hay.

Try switching to a pellet that is less than 16% protein, preferably less for adults. And minimum 18% fiber. You'll probably also notice that their fur looks better too.

 

[maherwoman]

I agree...less protein, more fiber, and maybe switching to Timothy pellet food.

I had to switch Maisie's food when she was young because of excess cecals...and found that she very quickly stopped producing too many, and was perfectly healthy.

So, yeah, that's my suggestion...

AND...post your questions in the main forum(s), Silly! Want you to get all the help you can...and a lot of people miss blogs...

Hugs!

P.S. How are the birdies??

 

[jupiterannette]

birds are good.. i jsut figured posting here i wasnt cloging up stuff, i always feel im in the way

umm i jsut looked at the bun food, and oops it is alfalfa....

also the treats im giving are very high in protien... 24-48% so i guess thats bad, and the fiber is5- 10 %

so i guess i wont do those any more...

this is it....

50lb bag for 14.25$ it is made locally in mass, so i figured it was good.. i was aiming for higher protien and high fiber..

i didnt knwo lower protien was better..
hey i use 1 bag per week

the bun food

 

[JadeIcing]

Want another one made is MASS? It is the best! I use it!

 

[jupiterannette]

ok is it the purple one...

cause sweet meadow is the same farm...

[JadeIcing]

Yes! The sweetmeadow is good. That is from the same farm??? Odd.

 

[jupiterannette]
