  I am moving this to the care section.
  
  As for the mucous, it could be something to be concerned about – how old are your rabbits?

  Sometimes they get Mucus in their poo. If it is a lot I would think vet visit.

  Whether it’s coming out of their nose or it’s in their poo, I think it’s necessary to see a vet.

  The chalky white stuff on the bottom is pretty normal – it’s the calcium and other minerals that are excreted in the urine.
  
  Mucus, however, isn’t normal. Mucus in the poo of a young bun like that can be related to mucoid enteritis, which is extremely serious and fatal – I would take her to a vet just to be safe.

  I agree with Elrohwen – better to be safe than sorry.

  Mucous is like snot-it’s a thick consistency and it’s wet. If your seeing mucous in the litter box-I’d rush that rabbit to the vet and ignore the speed limit while I did it.
  
  You could be seeing dry urine-but we really can’t tell you one way or the other. Its better safe then sorry-I’d go to the vet.
