I sometimes find a few (1-2) cecals in Sabrina's cage. Usually they are in her litter box so I figured that she accidentally didn't eat them. However, today I found 3 "bunches of grapes" just lying in her cage before I went to night class. Thinking that they maybe had just happened (they looked very fresh) so I left them for her to eat. It seems as though she ate one of them but not the other two. I am worried that she isn't getting enough of the nutrients that she needs, or that something is wrong with her and she is producing too many cecals.
Sabrina is an almost 5 month old Holland Lop. She isn't spayed (but will be December 3). Her fecals and urinary output are normal. She had some fecals while I was at school and they were normal. She is acting perfectly normal and has not been outdoors or had access to anything poisonous. Nothing seemed to be chewed/destructed/out of place in her room when I got home from school.
Her diet is unlimited timothy hay and 1/2c. of pellets (protein content 14%). I know that babies are supposed to have alfalfa but her breeder had her on timothy so I wanted to keep it consistent with what she was receiving. She also gets 1 1/2 -2 c. of fresh veggies daily.
Today she had a 1 spoonful of pumpkin (she is shedding), 2 baby carrots, 2 slices of cucumber and the rest of her veggie allocation was dandelion. She had this at about 4 pm and ate it on and off until about 6 pm (which is normal for her)
I am sorry that this post is so long I just wanted to make sure that covered all of my bases. I would appreciate any advice at all! Hopefully there is nothing wrong with her and I am just being an over protective mother!
Thanks so much, Lauren.
