  my guess is that one or both have peed on the poop and this is the excess calcium excreted thru their pee. It’s normal for them to do this but you do want to take care there’s not always alot of calcium sediment. What age are your rabbits and how much pellets do you feed them?

  I was just about to write the same as JerseyGirl. In my case when I find poop covered in white, it is when Freddie is marking his territory – when he marks, he sprays white urine unlike when he is peeing regurlaly. So perhaps one of them is sexually maturing and marking?

  they probably are marking their territory.i just moved them both in one room(but separate pen) so probably their scent makes them do that.
