Rabbit poop

Problems
Analyzing your rabbit's fecal pellets is a good way of diagnosing whether all is right with your rabbit's health. If they are ever malformed, it is usually indicative of some health problem that needs immediate attention.

Poopy Butt
Poopy butt is the informal term of what happens when rabbits get runny stool or are unable to reach and clean their back end. See Cecotropes for more information, as poopy butt is often caused by unformed cecals.
