I think if he’s gaining weight and his cecal problem has decreased then you are probably giving him just the right amount of pellets even at a young age.

Keep in mind that many young buns at that age have excess cecals and it can be a perfectly normal part of development. I would attempt to increase his pellets as he gets older to see if his stomach can handle it since I would be worried about not giving him enough nutrients during a period when he really needs a lot of calories.

Have you tried different brands of pellets?

Yes, what brand is he on now and what was he on before? If he was on alfalfa previously, he may do better on a plain timothy pellet. Really tho, as he gets older, you want him on a very limited number of pellets.

It took me awhile to get used to how bunnies eat. They seriously act like they’re starving all the time. Bun-Bun will eat an entire bowl of fresh veggies, and then if I get a few pellets a second later to try to make him do some tricks, he goes frantic trying to get them out of my hands as if he hasn’t eaten in days. I think that’s just how they are! When my mom and sister are around, he scams tons of extra food out of them, my mom even once said, “this poor rabbit is starving!” because he was inhaling his veggies. I assured her that he was NOT starving.

Someone else needs to answer you about what kind of veggies are appropriate for him since he’s younger, I have no experience with baby bunnies. Sounds cute!

Have you tried him on just the timothy pellet alone? That might be worth a try. Also, sample some other brands in case it’s something he’s sensitive to in this particular brand. If successful, you could give him unlimited amounts again.

ETA: One ingredient I’m a little suspcious about in rabbit products is flax seed. I’ve noticed mine get stickier poop when they’ve had something with this in it. It could have been another ingredient but this is the one I deem most likely the culprit.  (I’m interested if anyone else has had same experience).  Some of the kaytee pellets do have this in them.

We’ve been having this problem with Frankie, and we asked the vet about it. He said that in the wild, bunnies naturally tend to store up cecals for a huge midnight feast together, so it’s not a problem if they’re being left about the place. The vet said that we shouldn’t limit the pellets until our buns are up to 6 months, because they grow so fast in that time. We feed ours buns a whole bowl of pellets twice a day, and then not in the meantime, and whilst Frankie stil drops cecals everywhere, they’re generally all eaten by the time it comes to dinner.
