I had to share this with you all, this is his regular happy place where he ends up a few times a day, snuggled and snoozing in my hand. Still cant pick the little beast up but will flop and snuggle and spoon and cuddle all day.

oh my gosssshhhhh

So precious!

Maybe you could configure their salad into an “edible arrangement”?

A more important question is why they are getting so dirty in the first place?

The best thing is to make sure his litter box is kept clean, and over time the stains will go away.

If he is having soft poops that are sticking to him, that indicates an issue with his diet or another medical issue.

I agree that he is much too young for veggies. Cauliflower and cabbage especially are known to cause gas and should not be fed to rabbits. He could be having a build up of gas that is causing him pain.

Keep pushing hay and water, and encourage him to move around gently. You can also give him a gentle tummy rub.

Hey, I will definitely try and reach out to local rescues. Thank you!

Update: turns out that discharge was just from the abscess bursting! She’s doing really well now, so I think we will continue this treatment and work to get her back to hay and veggies soon. Still, I will report everything to the vet at her follow up just in case. Thank you all!

If he’s eating Timothy hay, that’s positive and it’s a small window of time so at this point I wouldn’t be too concerned over lack of poop; however, the diet you outline is concerning and can be contributing to constipation.

He should not be in any veggies whatsoever at his age. His stomach is not ready to break those down.

Thanks Dana! It was a bit better today. Also they are getting more snuggly by the day. There’s been a lot more grooming, mostly from Dorian, but Miu usually reciprocates.

Thanks @GlennTheLionhead!
