My rabbit has always had dark poop. Really dark. It's mostly uniform in size, and after a while it becomes really hard to break open (fresher poop is a lot softer). This is his current feeding schedule.

Morning: 1/8th cup Oxbow Adult pellets and 2 Oxbow Digestive supplements (he's about 8 lbs).

Afternoon and dinner: One small bowlful of veggies. This is a mix of romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, bok choy, endive, red leaf lettuce, swiss chard, etc. Not necessarily all at once. Typically 3-4 kinds. Think each bowl is about 2 cups?

Throughout the day he obviously gets Timothy hay. I feel like he eats a lot of it, too. Sometimes at night, he'll get banana treats.

Should I just give him less veggies or something? He's probably around 2-3 years, good weight for his size. I've had him for almost 2 years in September. He started off getting more pellets than he should've, less variety in veggies, and he was picky with hay. I've been happy with his current diet, but I've seen no change in his poop.
 
I don't have any advice to offer, but providing a photo may help people know exactly what his poop looks like ;)
 
These are his poops. I was under the impression they should be much lighter.
