Hello,
My rabbit has started to eat his own fecal pellets.
I had to stop feeding him all vegetables 6 months ago because he could not maintain firm cecotrophes. Cutting the veggies was the only solution that worked. On a number of occasions, I tried to reintroduce extremely small amounts (literally 1 piece from bagged mixed greens). No luck.
This morning I think he had a gas problem but it passed with simethicone. 12 hours later I noticed that he was eating his hay and pooping where he was eating. He is normally very good about using his litter box. When he was finished with his hay, he ate his fecal pellets.
Any ideas on nutrition for those rabbits on a no veggie diet?
Thanks
