Soft or mushy feces outside the litter box can be a sign of dietary imbalance or gastrointestinal upset in rabbits. Rabbits produce two types of droppings: hard, round fecal pellets and softer cecotropes, which they re-ingest for nutrients. If the soft poops are true diarrhea and not cecotropes, or if they are consistently left uneaten, it warrants concern. Ensure your rabbit has access to unlimited fresh hay, as this is crucial for their digestive health. Any change in diet should be gradual. Consult your vet if it persists or if you notice other signs like lethargy or loss of appetite. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
