All fine! It’s good to make new topics to keep these topics up to date with people’s different experiences.

This is good place to learn about poop!: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Rabbit_poop

Lighter and bigger is generally healthier. That being said, if the smaller, darker poops are still of good size and are still dry and crumble, those are likely still completely healthy as well. My Fable’s poops are much darker than my Wick’s, yet she eats loads of more hay, haha.

Mine get darker poops from orchard hay as well. The important thing is that he eats as much hay as possible, so if he’s eating a lot of orchard then I would stick with that for now! It can take young rabbits to really start to get a taste for hay, but you are doing the right thing by offering different cuts, etc.

If you’d like a second opinion feel free to post a picture of the worrisome poops!

These poops don’t look bad. As you are saying yourself, its great if you can get buns to eat lots of hay. Color of poop will often vary between types of hay. Rabbits that get fresh greens and grass tend to have darker poop than rabbits that mainly eat hay and a limited amount of pellets.

I wouldn’t go by color alone. Different hays can alter the color of poop. I have noticed as well that orchard hay tends to make poops look darker. It isn’t a bad thing as long as they are a good size and crumble.

I have noticed that oat hay tends to give almost golden poops. This doesnt mean that oat hay is better than timothy or orchard or meadow hay (which in Europe is the most common type of hay and consists of a mix of various grasses.)

Its very good too keep an eye on poop though, like you’re doing. Amount and size is more important than color.
