Ok, I have obtained a young buck (more info on my other thread under the general topics).
He's said to be a pure bred Havana, about 6 weeks old, maybe a pound in weight, broken grey/white coloring. He's from a pet store and I'm not sure what they or my 'friends' were feeding him. I don't think he has eaten anything from the garbage since he was still in the box when we found him.
I have him (along with my other rabbits) on Purina Complete rabbit chow, and alfalfa hay (kaytee is the brand). They have fresh pellets, hay and water at all times along with a few chew toys.
Now, my second girl has on-and-off loose stool that I have been monitoring, tho we've only had her a week.
But this little guy is the one with the problem. He just came to live with us today, but I have already noticed that he has runny stool that does have a bit of bad smell to it. I'm not sure if it could be the changing in his diet or lack of hay (the pet store and 'friend' were not giving him hay) or what. I have read a little about adding Bene-Bac into their water/food, has anyone tried that? If not what should I do?
Thanks in advance!
