What kind of rabbit do you have? Thishappens to my Jersey Woolies once in a while. They don't eatthe cecotropes (night feces) that they are supposed to eat and since itis a softer stool, it bunches up and is very sticky. Isuspect this is what is happening.

My dutch had that once too. I think itwas because she ate too much greens...

Try giving a little oats a couple times a week,cut back on the greens and treats. One of mine has an ongoingproblem like that. She doesn't get many greens and has hadproblems in that area.

How old is he and what kind of pellets are youfeeding? If he's an adult rabbit with alfalfa pellets, he may begetting larger cecotropes from the high protein.

How often do you clean him out?

Just a thought...maybe you could 'check' himonce a day. So if there is some poopy booty, you can catch itbefore it gets too bad.
