True diarrhea is an emergency, but it sounds like he has had some normal poops since then so I think it’s more likely he had some extra soft cecotropes and some gas from all the extra treats, which could lead to full GI stasis if it gets bad. Def cut out treats and fruit in general (many rabbits have issues with fruit, I only give it to mine as a very occasional treat).

When was the last time he ate? Keep pushing his hay (offer handfuls of it to him) and encouraging movement. You can give him a belly rub as that can help with gas. You can also give simethicone (infant gas drops), which usually helps within a couple hours if it’s going to help at all.

I would clean his litter box and monitor poops and food carefully. Since you don’t know exactly when he stopped eating overnight, I would call the vet if he doesn’t perk up within the next couple hours.

It sounds like intermittent soft cecotropes. This can happen if a bun gets (or happens too find) food that’s especially nutrient-dense. It’s not true diarrhoea. It is not a vet emergency. It will right itself if you cut out the energy/nutrient-dense food and get the bun back on a diet consisting of mostly hay and water.

These things happen. It happens because the pH in the rabbit gut gets disturbed by too much simple carbs or/and protein. This “confuses” the normal good gut microbes.  The gut will need a few days -a week to get back on track.

If he started eating hay and some poops last night looked normal, he is improving and it’s OK to monitor. I would keep an eye on things until he’s eating 100% normally, but def withhold treats for a while!

Can you describe his diet in detail? Maybe we can identify something that would make him more prone to issues (but it’s likely just from too many treats and fruits).

He’s probably sensitive to the fruit. What you listed are said to be “safe” for rabbits, but not all rabbits are able to handle fruit. Fruit should be given sparingly, but some just can’t have it at all.

Are the Oxbow treats the “cookie” kind?

Not sure how much pellet feed you are giving but you can reserve some of his pellet ration and use that as treats. I would cut out the fruit and use it only as a special treat for after something like a nail trim. Even then it should be a very small amount (like a single blueberry).

You can give salad every day as long as your bun tolerates it. I give my buns salads and pellets once per day (evening) and a treat once per day (in the morning) in to encourage hay eating the rest of the day.

It is fun to give buns treats, but remember food does not equal love! Giving too many treats can make buns eat less hay which leads to other problems.

I forgot to ask how old your bun is, but adult buns do not need many pellets. Younger buns should have more as they are growing, but once they reach their adult size they do best with a very limited amount (I give mine about a tablespoon each per day).

Ok cool, yeah you could just reserve part of those pellets to be used as treats if you wanted to. 🙂 Or break up the Oxbow treats into smaller pieces so that you still get lots of interaction with them but they aren’t getting so many total.

That’s great! Thanks for the update 🙂

Thank you for the update, lovely news!
