So my bun isn't eating his soft feces and leaving it on the floor or stuck in his fur. This has happened before, and at the advice of my vet I stopped giving the 1/2 cup of dark romaine lettuce he was getting daily (he said that mini lops can be sensitive to leafy greens),treats, and changed his pellets from a timothy/alfafa mix to pure timothy pellets. Throughout this he has been getting a constant supply of timothy hay as well. I did those things one at a time and eventually it stopped for a couple of months, but it started again when I tried giving him dried sweet potatoes as an occasional treat and celery as some greens. I stopped those when he stopped eating his night feces but it's still been going for a couple weeks. Should I change the diet again or is it some sort of bacterial issue in his gut?

are you sure he is not eating it ? Sometimes my buns over produce it due to rich diet i.e when I give in and give them some treats or to many pellets 😄 they can't eat it all so some gets left I just leave a bit to the side and clean the rest up just in case but I see them eating some of it this only happens once every couple of months or so I cut back on there pellets and give more hay and it's fine the next day just cut down on the pellets for a bit ! How old is your bun ?
He's as happy and playful as ever so that would make sense that he's getting his nutrition, even if there's some leftovers. Should I resume the dark-leaf romaine for his greens or should I try something new for daily veggies?
Okay I give mine spring greens , curly kale , rocket , watercress daily only a small cup each but they share a plate my Bailey is 1 and Ivy is 8 months they share 1 bowl of pellets a day and unlimited hay does your eat a lot of hay ?
