Would this be considered mushy?

I didn't think to take a picture before i threw it away but i found one of Merry's cecotropes and although they looked formed they were extremely soft to the point that when i picked it up with a bit of tissue, it turned to mush. Is this considered mushy cecals? I gave them about 1/4 of an apple (no seeds) to share yesterday (i introduced it before with no problems) but her cecals seems softer and lighter coloured than usual, like a caramel colour rather than a darker brown as it usually is. I also introduced them to cilantro yesterday, is it possible that it upset her stomach? This is the first time for at least 2 weeks that i have found one of her cecals, but she actually only did it about 10mins ago and it's 10:28am.

So it still looked formed, but as soon as you touch it, it loses its shape and looks like a mushy blob.

Does this pic help?

Oh, and if its a cecal, it should have a membrane around it so it gets liquidy when crushed, it won't crumble, it will smear.

This is a really crappy subject. It varies from rabbit to rabbit here. Some are very soft, some aren't, but thankfully most go unseen.

Thanks Pip. Her cecals usually look like that, but this one was much lighter in colour and seemed to lose its form when i picked it up whereas when they look like the one in the pic it usually keeps its form unless i squish it. This one lost its form just by touching the tissue. If i find another one i will remember to take a pic this time.

Yeah, i normally don't find her cecals but did find one today. I did see her eat one straight from her bum so im assuming if it was diarrhoea she wouldn't have eaten it?
