  I have 2 does in seperate cages and their diet is strictly hay and green vegetables yet I am finding A LOT of cecotropes in their cages and I am concerned especially as we are coming into fly season. There are normal big, fibrous droppings too which is why I’m confused. Plus my other buck bun is absolutely unaffected, he has never had this problem. Please any advice would be much appreciated!

  As long as they are perfectly formed cecotropes it is not a concern. If they are mushy or unformed then that is a problem.
  
  Some rabbits just form more cecotropes than others.

  Are the girls carrying a lot of extra weight? Overweight buns can have difficulty reaching their cecotrophes direct and end up dropping them on the cage floor.
