thoughts on uneaten cecotropes

So your rabbit/s aren’t eating their cecos. Why and what to do.

Rabbits usually eat their cecotropes (looks like poop, but is actually filled with nutrients) straight from their bum. For bunnies who leave their snacks behind, it's indicative of a really rich and carbohydrate filled diet.

To start, cut back on the treats! Rabbits shouldn't be having more than 2 tablespoons a day. With your vet's approval, we suggest cutting back on veggies and/or pellets for a few days to encourage hay feeding. Some rabbit owners have found that feeding veggies every other day helps immensely.
