Small bunny poop

[stitch&flopsy]

Hi I'm new to this rabbit forum so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category.

I am a little worried because one of my two rabbits will have really small poops sometimes. Both are only 4 months old. I am worried because I heard that if your rabbit has small poops it means they are sick and should se a vet. I have seen these poops every once in a while ever since I got them. Do any of your rabbits have small poos like this? Should I be worried?

Is it just a few and most of the other poop is normal, or are you seeing a lot in one day? Is it a lot smaller than usual?

Most of the other poops are normal just see these poops about 3-4 times a week. I have a pic of then below

If there are only a few laying around, next to lots of normal sized fecal poop, and they look a bit like shriveled up mini raisins when dry, they are probably just leftover uneaten pieces of your rabbits cecotropes. If you are seeing a lot of the small ones and not many normal fecal poop, then they are probably small fecal poop due to gut slowdown. Usually from lack of water, diet imbalance(not enough fiber from hay or too many sugars and starches), or stress.
