caecotrophs, pregnant doe

[Jocee]

Hi everyone

My bunny Bella has been leaving a couple of caecotrophs the last few mornings (which she never does). It's not a lot, only about 2, but I am wondering if this is maybe because she is having trouble cleaning herself down there because of her pregnant tummy getting bigger.
I only give her a quarter cup of pellets every day, and the rest of her food is hay, grass, grass, and more grass. She eats her hay very well and loves her fresh grass.

I am just needing any thoughts on whether the leftover caecotrophs could be from the pellets, or from a struggle to clean herself down there from her pregnant tummy.

Depending on how far along she is, it's possible that it's a mobility issue. Not much of a problem as long as some cecos get eaten or if that doesn't last too long, I would think like when it's just in her last week.

yep, Bella is due in about 9 days, so she is in her last stages. I am pretty sure she eats some caecotrophs, as there have only been a couple when I find them.
