We have had about 6 different fuzzy lops (adults) over the past couple years. We have them in pre-fab cages with wire floors.
It seems that this breed always has a "bathroom" issue and their poo doesn't drop through the wire floor as out other breeds of rabbits do. We also have lionheads, mini lops, Holland lops and Netherland Dwarfs and none have this same kind of issue. They all have nice little round poo that falls right though the wires and into the catch pans.
We are thinking about getting out of Fuzzy Lops because of this. It's a total pain to clean the wires in the cages at least weekly.
Just wondered, is this messy poo just part of this breed? If not, what can I do to remedy this ASAP?
Each day they have water and pellet food (16% protein). About once a week we give them a nice bunch of hay.
Thank you.
