Oh got it. Also I understand wanting to get the green to stick to the theme, haha. If it is simply a thicker carpet, you could potentially bring it to a fabric or hardware store and they could cut it to size for you! They are better equiped with carpet cutting tools.

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.

Thank you. I’m trying to make one last try as he was okay with 2nd cutting from rabbit hole hay before. If he insists on orchard grass then orchard it is.

Yes, I can’t tell if this is something attached to the skin or if it is simply gunk stuck in the fur. If it’s attached to the skin, then it could be a scab from an injury or a papilloma. If it’s in the fur, then it could be from a nasal discharge.

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.

Considering his age, I agree with Wick’s suggestion. It was probably a scab from a previous injury.

Glad to hear everything is OK! I take it she is eating now then?

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.

But he’s always had quite a lot of this kind of dark and misshaped poops. Apparently due to not eating enough hay.

it might look pretty good overall.

The one I ordered wasn’t cuttable to the size I need like I thought it was. I want green colored carpet/carpet tiles because it would go with the theme of the cage.

Thanks. I know that my rabbits would love getting out. I was just worried about the mesh. One of my bunnies, cinnimon, chewed though mesh on her carrier when she was a baby. She has been spayed and stopped chewing lots now so I am not sure.

You can pick fresh grass, clover, and dandelions, as long as it hasn’t been sprayed

We love getting updates, especially if you’re the OP! Slower is always a safe pace to start with. I am not as familiar with your situation as Dana, but you can always go faster as you see signs, but it’s tough to go slower when an already-adopted fast pace has caused some negative interactions, making the bonding potentially more difficult.
