Rabbit poo wet?

Gravellilac · Monday at 12:55 PM

hello everyone I checked my rabbits poo today and it looked totally wrong! It was wet dark brown and like 4 small poops stuck all together, comparing it to his other poos I knew it wasn’t normal. Should I take him to the vet or is it the food I’m giving him. Please help! Thank you! I have upload a video of the poop!

Looks like uneaten cecotropes to me. If you sqish them they are way more smelly than regular bunny berries. Normally they eat them right from the anus, but if they get disturbed or whatever some can end up laying around. Seeing that once in a while isn't unusual.

If it happens regularily, in most cases it's due to a too rich diet, then cutting back pellets and rather high calorie veggies can help.

Check him over, those tend to stick to the fur, easier to get them out while wet.

Okay thank you so much I was worried considering he had just been neutered and something was wrong! I’ll keep an eye on it and thank you!
