For the record, I've heard this is nota great indication of dehydration in rabbits, more for cats and dogs. That said,one of my rabbit vetsdoes do thattoo.
Still, it doesn't indicatefluids in the GI tract, which actually works by pushing water through it, so extra hydration is still essential in stasis. That's why the best treatment is almost always a subcutaneous infusion.
If a bunny is actually dehydrated, though, they tend to not eat, either, and that causes a host of other problems.
But I digress.
Glad to hear she's looking strong. Now to get her pumping out those poops! That's not a lot of food, so still recommending the pumpkin. Failing that,best to soak and mush up her pellets (making sure they're very well soaked) and try and get her to eat those.
(What kind of pellets are they? Would be good to know the protein and fiber counts).
ADD: Mixing them with the banana mush would work, too.I think you're okay with the banana and pineapple,the greatest danger with fruit seems to be sending their gutsinto an imbalance,watch for liquidy cecals (or further constipation) but it's good to give her something with energy, so it'sjust a matter of not giving her too much of it. Her conditiondoessound very hopeful.
