Why does my rabbit have occasional diarrhea? What are the causes?

Question

My rabbit is having diarrhea once a few weeks or maybe even days but sometimes nope and may I know what causes this problem?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Rabbits need a high fiber diet to maintain gut health. They do produce softer stool, cecotropes or "night stool", which they eat as a normal part of the diet. Diarrhea can be caused by a lack of fiber, intestinal parasites, poor nutrition or too much fruit or vegetables. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites, offer as much timothy hay or similar grasses as your rabbit wants to eat., If it is older than 7 months, do not feed alfalfa. Limit fruit and vegetables to one or two portions daily, less if the soft stool persists.
