I would continue to monitor. Rabbits tend to chew whatever they ingest meticulously. The’re not capable of swallowing chunks of things. The best thing for getting stuff through the GI tract is hay. You could give some simethicone baby gas drops – it is traditionally used for gas, but since it stays in the GI canal until it gets pooped out, it also acts as a lubricant.  It’s not absorbed into the body.

If you dissect the strung together poop – could it perhaps have been mucus that strung them together? Mucus as rule means theres some type of intestinal irritation, causing the gut to produce mucus as a protective measure. The mucus can be very stiff but it will dry into “nothing”.

Ample amounts of mucus can mean overgrowth of non-beneficial bacteria, in which case you should contact your vet (if it persists).

Yes, 12+ hours is great! A blockage would present sooner. If a bun is eating a ton of hay, I’d not worry too much. It’s similar to giving a dog asparagus when it’s eaten sth it shouldn’t have. The long fibers will wrap around the non-food item and bring it through safely. (Dogs do swallow stuff like socks whole, rabbits dont, thank goodness!) If your bun gets fesh greens, I’d serve them dripping wet for the next meal or two, extra hydration also helps with getting stuff through the GI canal.

That’s lovely! Running around and eating like crazy is exactly the type of behavior a bun owner likes to see!

Just clean the box and keep monitoring. He sounds like he’ll be fine!  Amount of poop follows their activity. Lounging = less poop. You’ll  learn your bun’s cycle, through observation.

There’s no way to say really, but then the important thing is that he’s eating and pooping like he should now. The treat test (offering a yummy treat) is really great for determining if a bun has gastric upset. Whatever it was, if it’s come through it’s come through. I’ve had buns and dogs that ate the silliest things and they were just “Never you mind silly hoom, I’ve got better things to do.”

There will always be a delay with the poop. They poop less when they are lounging and sleeping. When they become active again and eat more, the poop doesn’t just magically appear the second they are eating something. It needs time to make its way out.

As LBJ says, there is a delay. It’s normal! Just keep a close eye. and I think you’ll see poop soon!
