Is your rabbit’s poop back to normal now? It is very important to keep a rabbit’s GI tract moving or they will get very sick very quickly. If he isn’t eating well or if he still had abnormal feces then you should have him evaluated by a veterinarian. Also they can prescribe a good called Oxbow critical Care diet that you can force feed to get things moving again. This has worked well in my experience. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Caoch.
