        One of my rabbits has been leaving a LOT of cecotropes over the last few weeks. Some days there will be none, and some days there will be 10-15 by the time I get back from work.He is eating normally and still seems happy and playful, but I am just worried that something might be wrong. I have their yearly vet checkup in a few weeks, but I am wondering if I should take him in sooner. 

        Last time I went into the vet she said I should make sure they always have hay available and to give them greens and vegetables sometimes as a treat. The rabbit with the cecotrope problem is much smaller than my other but he seems to eat 10 times as much hay. Could he just be eating too much?

        I am very worried about him (plus the cesotropes are a pain to clean up)

        Any advice would be appreciated

        Thanks

          No, it’s not a problem – he is probably get all the nutrients he needs from his veggies and some rabbits just don’t eat all their cecotropes. Yes, it’s messy but it’s not a medical problem as long as they are properly formed.

            Most are properly formed, though some are squished. This is because he sometimes sits on them (gross, I know). Thanks for the reply!
