  Hi fellow BBs, I need some advice
  
  Recently (last 2 weeks), my bun (almost 2 now) has almost doubled his intake of water (can easily down 16 oz+ (500ml+) in a day, and has started the weird habit of pooping everywhere. I’ve also noticed his poops lighter in colour, bigger and easily breakable compared to what it was before. Before, he was relatively a good litter box goer, with the occasional poop outside his box. The only change I’ve had in the last while was only a new box (same brand and kind) of hay. I also feed them greens on a regular basis. I don’t feed them pellets. I’ve never had this problem before. What can be going on? I’ve read it could be dental or kidney issues. Am I just freaking myself out too much?

  I would say it could be either – more likely dental…however, the only way to know is to have a complete physical exam from the vet to rule this out – once this is ruled out, then you can consider other things.
