  Is it normal to sometimes see bunnies’ caecotrophs? My 4 year old Alfredo I’ve never seen one from him (he eats them all) but my new 8 week old I’ve been seeing a few here and there… wondering if that is something concerning.

  It isn’t unusual for young bunnies on a rich diet to produce extras. They aren’t a concern unless they stick to their butt and cause poopy butt issues.

  Oh, mine love to do it. They will bend down and do it right in their mouth! 😆 For the longest time I didn’t know why they would always come back up chewing, but then I found out… 😉

  Yeah, when Wilbur was young he produced a lot of cecos too but as he got older I didn’t see them as much. Now I never see them at all! I don’t really know why that happened since I didn’t change his diet, but he seems fine lol. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about!
