bunny poop?

**Addie** · 06-12-2007, 07:52 PM

I'm not sure if my bunny is sick or not...

She is skinnier but she is also getting bigger. What can I feed her to help her gain weight? Right now all she is getting is unlimited timothy hay. Her poop is solid but it is kinda wet...and i'm not sure what to do about it. Any suggestions?

She sounds fine, your probly just seeing fresh poo.

I really hope so. Are there any foods I can feed her that will fatten her up because she seems pretty thin...

You can mix alfalfa hay with her for a bit. Pellets will fatten her up but they aren't great for her. If she's eaing till she is full she might just have a small figure.

They also produce another poo that is wet and looks like a bunch of small grapes stuck together. People usually think that thier rabbit is sick and has diarehha but it's just thier food going around a second time and they end up eating it to help with digestion. So don't be surprised if you never see it.

Do you feed her greens yet?
How old is she?
Is she spayed yet?

She needs a much more varied diet than just collard greens! She also should have plenty of hay - alfala until she is full grown. Right now she's not getting a balanced diet. Try adding parsley (Miss Hoppy says the flat "Italian" pasley is tastier than the curly stuff), dandelion greens and flowers if you have dandelions in your yard (you can buy the greens at the store) stuff like dill, Romaine lettuce, carrots and carrot tops - see
