Hello,
My bunny, Oreki (Male, Domestic, 1 year and 4 months), had his neuter operation a week ago. He's been acting perfectly, even more outgoing than he was before, the second I had him home. He was eating and drinking well, poop was weird at first which is normal after the operation but then it was normal again.

I've noticed for the past hours (A bit less than 24 hrs) that he's been eating cecotropes from down there but not pooping any fecal pallets. Not in his litterbox nor outside.
Peeing, playing, eating (hay, veggies, fruits and pallets) and have the same big appetite as ever, just not facel pallets what so ever.

I might be over worrying but I just wanted to make sure if any has faced such a thing and hoping it's not related to GI in any way ;_;
 
Are you sure he's not just eating his fecal poop as well? A few months ago someone else posted about their rabbit not leaving any poop and eating the fecal poop. I think it may have stopped after a few days. A few reasons I can think of why a rabbit might do this is nutritional deficiencies, boredom, not wanting to attract predators. Is your bun getting enough food? It's also possible that your bun may have started this due to the neuter, for some odd reason. Just keep an eye on him to ensure that he is still pooping and eating, and get him to the vet if it stops.
