  Noticed his poop was a bit misshapen on one pellet and linked together by what looks like hay in another? I can’t tell. Is he all right? He’s been eating and drinking fairly normally and he eats treats and seems active. Maybe a bit more skittish than usual.

  Is he molting? Molting can cause the bun to ingest more hair (as the bun grooms itself). This can lead to “beads-on-a-string” poop.
  
  Misshapen poop can mean a slight gut slowdown, which is common during a heavy molt. It can also be a result of a dietary change. Even a smallish change in diet can affect the gut.
  
  The poops in your picture don’t look alarming. What you should be cautious of is amount and size. When a bun is gradually going into stasis the poop will be less and less ample and gradually smaller in size, down to the size of black pepper corns.

  I think he might be. Every time I pet him I get a handful of fur when I pull my hand away. I’ve been brushing him as much as I can, but he doesn’t tolerate it very well.

  You can only do so much. If he is normal-haired, i e not an angora or lion head or similar, you could use a lint roller on him. If you ruffle his fur first, then lint roll, you’re likely to get quite a bit of hair off of him.
  
  If the doesnt accept that you can wet your hands and pet him. A lot of loose fur will stick to your wet hands.

  He’s a Holland lop, I think they’re normal haired? I use a fine tooth comb to brush him. He seemed a little more tolerant earlier and I brushed him for a good 20 minutes.
