Did the mushy-poops look like grape clusters? If so, they're normal! Bunnies do a "grape like" poo (technically called "cecotropes" and usually 'processed' in the early morning hours). They need to eat this cos it contains lots of nutrients needed to survive! Here's a good article on the topic of poo...

Rabbit GI Physiology and Nutrition

I also want to mention a couple of other things no one has mentioned (tho I might've overlooked it):

1) Papaya tablets and/or pineapple juice (approx. once a wk) is a very good thing for your bun. As you probably know, bunnies can't vomit therefore hairballs can be life threatening. Papaya/pineapple contain really good enzymes that help break down the hairballs and other stuff that might "clog" the system.

2) I can't stress the importance of finding a GOOD bunny vet. Look for one before you need him/her--the HRS (house rabbit society) has a list of bunny specialists. If they don't have one in your area, check the yellow pages for one that specializes in exotics. I don't take Sophie to the vet that sees our dog/cats.** He is an AWESOME vet but doesn't keep up-to-date in bunny health.

(**I do take Soph to him for nail trimmings but not for serious medical issues.)

Thelmer sure is a cutie--wait a few months and he'll hit the "terrible twos!" lol You'll surely have some stories then Just remember to be patient, he WILL grow out of it... lol (There were times when Soph had me in tears cos I was sooo mad at her. ) And of course, this is probably preaching to the choir, but I want to remind you that neuterin' him will make a HUGE difference in litterbox habits and personality (will make him more mellow). Good luck to everyone!!

(Psstt.... from one cocker lover to another... can we have some uppie-dated pics of PJ?! )
