do you know why this could be, i know rabbits eat their "sloppy" poo and then sort of re-digest it and then it comes out as the hard little balls. is there a chance he's not eating his poo?

i asked my vet about it and they just said it happens to alotof rabbits but theres no reason for it.

He gets hay and is on a good food with all the right things, is there anything that could be wrong?

What are you feeding him exactly?

This is very dangerous as its coming into summer and flystrike is a common killer among bunnies that have mucky bums. How old is he? And how big is his hutch/run.

Theres loads of very experienced bunny people and rescues on Rabbits United Forum - Powered by vBulletin
