yeah, i’m thinking it could be the fruit… how much have you been giving him, just a tiny, little bit, right….? that’s the only change in his diet aside from the hay. and i don’t think hay would cause stinky poop…

did you ever find your answer about the sugar content in the hay?

is the bun lying the poops on you? It could be the food. It could also be he is marking. even tho a bun is spneutered it can still put out a skunky smelling poop as markings.   Are there any new people or animals going over to visit you or moved in? My bun will leave a round stinky poop on me or  my couch when he smells the girls on my shirt.  And he is neutered.  I know another member mentioned this from their buns too. Then again it could be the food.

Well, we know he had a bit of tummy trouble (distended) which is why she suggested the fruit. Maybe he just passed whatever it was, and it’s stinky. Is he kind of back to normal in shape?
You copied the answer from Dana in your other post, and it sounded excellent. Your intuition was on target, so I think you can trust her advice over the vet’s while you’re gone.

I think they may just be a couple “territorial poops.” They can make those occasionally without any rhyme or reason to it, my bunny Raymond will drop some here and there – they look just like the normal poops except they have a bit of a “sheen” to them, and are a bit sticky. They tend to STINK!!! It could just be that Edson knows that something is up, and so he’s decided to mark his territory to keep things consistent Have all his poops been like that, or was it just one bunch?

You know, I just started giving Brownie (Edson’s look-alike) the Oxbow Papaya tablets because he is going through a heck of a molt, and he is having the same thing. Smelly, a bit softer than normal, sticky, etc, but not cecals. I was giving him 3 tablets a day, per instructions on the jar, but cut it back to 2, and it is a little better. I think I will do 2 every other day, or one a day…but I am betting Edson is having the same reaction Brownie is…maybe just cleaning out their system?

Good luck!

I find if I pick up poops exactly as they happen they are sometimes a little moist and stinky…Is it possible they are always like that when they come out, but you are noticing now?

Any chance you can get him to a vet b4 you go?

How are his poopies now?

I tried the link you provided to read Dana’s section of the website, and you’re on there. She seems to answer more elaborately than the one you quoted (or my memory has failed me – fairly common today). It was interesting to find your question there, and I could have sworn she addressed the stinky poo.

Maybe it’s his way of saying “stop staring at me , Mom!” (If it smells bad enough, she’ll leave.) If he’s still funky tomorrow you might want to give the vet another call. Wish I lived close by – it would be nice to babysit Edson.
