smaller bunny poops

[Stephie]

my 2month old baby lop boy was producing big golden brown poops. Recently, I changed his litterbox into a new one and started introducing green leaves, cilantro and salad. Since then he started to produce smaller darker poops for 3 days already. I also noticed he drinks less water. Other than that, he is acting fine, eating lots of alfafa and timothy hay, sleeping relaxed in his normal lamb chop position and even doing a few binkies at nights. Should I be worried, and there are only vets familiar only with dogs and cats in my town? Please help me with some remedies or stuffs. Thank you.

The poops in the photo don’t look too bad to me, but at 2 months he shouldn’t be having many greens just yet. Usually it’s recommended to wait until 12 months, and then introduce only 1 new veg at a time (usually 1 per week).

Eating greens provides water, and usually means a bit less hay eating, so drinking less is normal. Eating less hay will also make the poops darker in color.
