I hope this is in the right place... I found these tiny poops in my rabbits hutch today, they were under where he likes to take his afternoon nap. Should I be worried? Sorry it's a bit blurry I did the best I could... <br /><br /> -- Thu Aug 31, 2017 6:17 pm -- <br /><br /> Maybe this is a better pic...

They are probably cecotropes. The reason you seldom see them is that the rabbit usually eats them promptly when produced. This is a normal part of rabbit nutrition. As long as the rabbit is also producing the typical "bunny berries" in normal quantities, there is no reason for concern.

Here's a link for you that explains it in detail.

Thanks! I've only had him 4 months, and that's what I thought after I Googled it, but I wanted to check with the pros on here just to be sure ;) I think they fell through the cage bottom before he could get them.
