Welcome

Can you tell us how old Luna is? What type of hay does she eat?

With young rabbits, it’s not uncommon for them to produce a lot a cecatropes. Maybe more then they need. She might be eating some and leaving the rest..

Rabbits don’t eat all of the cecatropes. If she seems fine, its no problem.

What’s her diet like? She should be eating all her cecals. If she’s not her diet is too rich and needs to be adjusted.
