Ok so I have had my rabbit for 3 weeks and today i saw a Cecotrophs. But his litter box has a grate over it so how is she supose to eat it? Am i supose to take it out and put it in her cage. mindy
 
If they want to eat them they do so as it is coming out. If you see it, it's usually one that won't get eaten.Not to worry. Over time, rabbits developed that trait to make up for their meager diet in the wild. Our house rabbits have anything but a meager diet so the ingestion is not really necessary for most bunnies.
 
^^:yeahthat: If the cecals don't look normal, then that would be something to look into, but otherwise, it shouldn't be big big deal. My bunny's vet said just to up the hay. And, if they still refuse it, try mixing hay and that will probably interest them more to have 2 types. I always still get a bit worried if I'm seeing cecals continue, but randomly every once in a while doesn't worry me.
