        Hi it’s me again! Mochi normally poops big, dry and round ones but today she produced a  pile of big, soft and mushy poop along with the normal poop. These looked like big cecotropes to me but I just want to make sure(because Ramyeon died because of diarrhea.) She’s eating normally and drank a lot of water. She’s currently active and now she’s doing the bunny flop across the living room haha. I left her for 5 hours and when I got home I noticed she wasn’t producing any poop but she has already finished eating her grass. I can’t identify the problem

          I would just keep a close eye on her for now. Maybe one of the other Forum Leaders will have better advice for you. My bunnies have pooped like that before, it just looks like a big poo with no hay in it, right? Not sure what causes it, I assume, in the case of my buns’, just a bit of tummy upset.

          Has Mochi eaten anything she’s not used to lately?

            Yes, those poop that are shiny and have ireggular shape(some are oblong and some are joined together). Today Mochi ate the grass she eats daily; I didn’t give her treats or veggies.

              It sounds like cecrotropes to me. I would make sure she’s eating a lot of hay – typically extra cecotropes are a sign of a diet that is too rich as a result of too many pellets and not enough fiber (in the form of hay and also veggies to some extent).

                Sounds like uneaten cecotropes. This can occur because too many are produced when the diet is too rich; What has she eaten lately? You’ll want to cut back treats and increase hay and this should correct itself. If it does dissolve and she starts to have diarrhea you’ll need to get her to a vet for treatment. Too much sugar can throw off their cecum and the delicate balance of bacteria.

                  Just want to add that fruits and carrots count as treats when you’re watching sugar intake, so a simple hay and green leaf diet as the others suggested would be good to do for a couple of days while you watch the nature of her poos. Any new normal ones in the litter pan yet?

                    I only feed her lots of grass, pellets and water. I noticed that when she poops, the first thing that would come out are those soft mush poop followed by hard, round ones.

                      That’s happened to my rabbit Peter before, but it went away a few hrs later! It’s prob nothing to worry about – just keep a close eye on her.
