  hey all… so my dearest little bunnyboy has again got my nickers in a twist! he had 4/5 small poops, 3/4 medium and then normal all the way droppings again this morning! this is the 3rd time in 2 months! last 2 times were after trips and yesterday i had house guests all day… so new people, people passing his cage and noise… also i was busy with a friends lab all morning who got an ear infection and the people looking after her apparently didnt notice she was scratching gaping holes into her fur and skin(i dont see how they couldnt notice- poor bella) and i only took over care yesterday when they left his house(he is a dr, so people volunteer to pet sit so they can stay in his lovely house). anyway, i know my boy doesnt like it when i smell like dog, so i usually shower before i let him out, otherwise i can forget about cuddles, but last night, even after showering he was distant! ( he is defs the boss in this house) and now this morining again with the small poops? eish man! should i be worried? or is it just a stress thing? he eats and drinks and after those few, poops regularly! he’s also back to being naughty and busy!
  
  also… he is marking like crazy… and my vet wont neuter him till 6 months, something about testes pulling into the abdomen etc! she prefers 7 months, bit will do 6 if neccesary… for the most part he is litter trained, but my bed and stray clothing pieces… he doesnt mis a piece! what can i do in the meantime?

  It’s probably due to a bit of stress. It’s hard being the boss of the house. I would have said, just watch closely and if the poos don’t return to normal in a few days then see a vet (or if they stop completely then that’s not good) but what has mean concerned is the “distant” behavior. Sometimes this can be a sign of illness too. Does he seem hunched up? Uncomfortable? How are his poops progressing?

  Its literally 4/5 pellets small and then TONS of regular ones again! This morning at playtime(5am-7:30: its only 10am here now) he was all alive and jumpy and binky,ran all over me, jumped on everything and gave love bites and cuddles! Last night seemed more like rabbitude than withdrawel… He was playing by himself, jumping on couches and running around… Just flat ignoring me… Hahaha
  
  That actually is another thing I wonder about… He is much more lively @ dawn playtime than at dusk… Then he usually just wants to cuddle and play just a little! Its been that way since I got him!!! Does anyone else see that in their buns(different at different times)
  
  Maybe its cause his morning play yesterday was only an hour… Cause of the crisis with the dog… ?
