  I’ve noticed the past few days that my little one has been peeing A LOT. Like, twice the normal amount. I also noticed a slight increase in her poos, not as drastic as the pee but noticeable. This went on for about 3 days straight and then her pee went back to a more reasonable level but today I noticed a lot of poos again. Most were normal sized and pretty uniform but there were a few little ones and a few extremely large ones. She hasn’t been acting different, eating and drinking fine and nothing has changed in her diet.
  
  Is this something I should be worrying about? Could there be some underlying problem that is causing her to drink so much? I’m concerned about the varying sized poos from today but as I said, she’s acting perfectly normal and hasn’t made any indication that she’s in pain. She’s flopped down on the floor as we speak, inhaled her dinner (and is already begging for more) and as always, eating plenty of hay.

  I recently just lost a rabbit due to an illness similar to what you’re describing. He was eating so much (always begging for more). He also was peeing and pooping excessively. I took him to the vet and because he was acting normal and did not seem to be in pain… they told me he was fine! I wish I had pushed for more extensive testing. More than likely he had a long term health issue.
  
  If your rabbit is doing anything out of the normal it is best to get her to the vet ASAP. Have them do blood work along with urine and fecal exams!
  
  It’s better to be safe than sorry!
  
  Best Wishes! xxx

  Is she going through more hay then usual?
  Or not taking as much time to chew it?

  Same amount as usual and she’s chewing it like she always does.

  You know your bunny best and what is normal for her. If the excessive urinating continues, I would bring her to a vet. Excess urinating can be symptoms of bladder or UTI. I wouldn’t worry about the excess poos unless there is something abnormal about them like size, misshapen, softer, etc.
