My doe is having some soft/loose stools, formed but sticky. Started 2-3 days ago. First noticed on top of kindling box, but now I notice a lot of her poop is sitting on the cage wire instead of falling through.
Background:
My first rabbit (of course), got her 6 wks ago
She was bred when I got her, kindled 12 days ago
Feeding "Producers Pride"(15% protien, 15-18% fiber)rabbit feed from Tractor Supply, Timothy Hay, and occasional broccoli sprout or carrot stick
She ate very little during her pregnancy, like 4 oz a day, now she empties her feeder of 6-8 oz twice a day. Am I giving her too much? She's nursing 6 kits. Also trying to keep her hay full. I was giving her carrots as treats, but changed to brocolli for less carbohydrate.
Am I feeding something wrong or could she just be stressed because of the kits or something else? Am just worrying needlessly?
Thanks for any advice!
