        I just noticed that some of Charlie’s poops are much smaller than usual today. He’s acting fine otherwise – eating and drinking just fine. He’s been relaxing in his bed all day but that’s not entirely out of the ordinary for him. I’ll attach a picture – any ideas? Does this just happen sometimes? 

        I started reading about GI stasis which scares me especially because I’m going away on Tuesday

          This just happens sometimes. Try to make him eat more hay – you can hand-feed him a few strands. Herbs are good too.

          It’s good you’re being observant. Stasis can start with the poop getting continously smaller and smaller down to the size of black peppercorns. It’s accompanied by diminished appetite.

            Ah the worries I have for my bunnies over the exact same thing! I haven’t found a cause for it but it does happen sometimes to Buttercup – most of her poops will be fine but she’ll have the odd small one. As for Peanut, his poops always start off small in the morning and gradually return to normal as the day goes on. I think it’s because he doesn’t eat much hay overnight.
