3 week old babies

[glittermomma]

Hello
I just noticed today that two of my little baby buns have soft stools. One has just little soft ones but speedy had a clump stuck on his bum the size of a penny. Is this normal cause they are switching over to eating pellets and hay. They've nibbled on hay since week 1 and week 2 they started to nibble on their moms pellets. They just turned 3 wks last Friday and have been eating more pellets and drinking more regularly from the water bottle. Momma still feeds them once a day. It wasn't watery or anything and did have a little pungent smell to it. Thanks for any insight.

Their digestive system is starting to adjust to the transition between milk and pellets. If you see any signs of mucuos, that's a BIG problem. Otherwise, just keep them clean and watch them.

Yes this is normal as the above said.. just keep an eye on them. I have just mothered 5 baby rabbits (2 have gone to new homes now) and they had soft poos during the transition in fact.. there poo only started hardening at around 5 weeks old. They constantly got poo stuck to their furs especially laying in the poo. I think its normal.. they are now 9 weeks old and have normal healthy poos hope this helps

Thanks yup their poops are back to being little hard turds lol. I just made sure they had more hay then pellets as I found out one would fall asleep in the bowl eating them non stop smh.
