Help! Calling all bunny experts...

Alfie has runny poops ! ! !

Why could this be?? He eats same as other bunnies and they're fine ! Wouldn't mind so much but he's doing them all over the kitchen floor, and just walking all over them, smearing them all over the place??? Argh !

Advice very welcome...

Thanks

Is is, or was having greens, some fresh greens and cabbage. He is an adopted bunny from PAH, so he prob wasn't getting greens before tbh. He's being fed on rabbit pellets, with a tiny sprinkle of rabbit museli, and hay of course. He was underweight when we got him, so trying to feed him up a bit.

Well, that's where it started, he was in his hutch, or indoor cage, anbd when I came yesterday he was COVERED in poo, all over his back legs and fews bits on his back etc. Not sure if he got a fright of something, but that was the first time that had happened. Poor bunny

So stop his greens, and do you think maybe increase the hay???

aaawwwww poor little thing *hugs*

I agree i would stop feeding him the greens and maybe leave other food except hay off just for today and as a way to try and stop the runs you could feed him a little burnt toast as that usually helps to bind them due to the charcol in it. I used it for my buns and i use it for my chins and degus too and it usually works well
