My week old cottontail is pooping a very light tan color. I have provided additional information below.
A week ago my friend's dog chased their mother from the nest and killed her, along with two of the kits. He managed to save four, but didn't want to raise them, and there are no rehab clinics nearby, so I offered to take them. Unfortunately, 3 of them would absolutely not take any formula, and being inexperienced, I could not risk aspirating them by force feeding. They passed away. The fourth and biggest of the kits is an excellent eater and has been doing fine until just recently. Yesterday, his poop changed from a healthy dark brown color, to a strange medium tan. Today the tan is so light its almost white. He also pees very reluctantly but he has always done that. Everything else is normal, he's pretty plump and active, and his pee is a healthy color. I've been feeding him goats milk mixed with a tablespoon of heavy cream and two small scoops of benebac. He takes about 6 CCs of formula throughout the day with 3 feedings. He is a cottontail.
