I'm sure a few of you remember my post about Clyde and his poops being tear drop shaped? Well I followed everyones advice and cut his pellets down to 1/4 of a cup once a day, and always keeping fresh hay. The first week he did great! His poops returned to normal and he actually lost a little. I'm not sure of his actual weight beforehand but just looking at him from above he is now much more hourglass shaped rather then just round. Making me think he may have been bloated? Can rabbits get bloated??
But anyways he was doing good so I gave him 1 leaf of red leaf lettuce and one leaf of green leaf lettuce. I did this because I figured it was the lettuce making him sick and it was the kale I was feeding him. Well immediately his poops turned back to tear dropped shaped and now about 2 weeks later, his poops still haven't returned to normal..Could lettuce be making him sick? I know that lettuce is a main part of most rabbits veggie diet. I'm worried to try any other veggie because I don't want it to make him even worse. Can rabbits survive without veggies?
If they can't, what veggies should I try next? What veggies are easiest on a rabbits digestive system?
