Thank you for using PetCoach. She is adorable. The first thing to do is to make sure that Gorda's diet is approriate. Most pet rabbit do not need pelleted food or need very, very little. Hay and vegetables should make up the majority of her diet. Here is a good guide https://rabbit.org/faq-diet/ Cecotrophs are feces that do have a different consistency that regular stool https://rabbit.org/intermittent-soft-cecotropes-in-rabbits/ She may be acting antisocial if she is not feeling well, or depending on her age it may be hormonal related. For pet rabbits I stronly recommend spaying for behavioural benefits as well as for her health. https://rabbit.org/faq-spaying-and-neutering/ However is she is having very loose stool or acting abnormally, I would recommend a visit to a veterinarian that treats rabbits asap. If rabbits develop GI disorders it becomes fatal very quickly. I hope this helps, feel free to post again if you have further questions. She is a cutie!

Cecotropes are produced in the rabbit's cecum and are a normal part of digestion and elimination. They typically produce them at night, hence the name "night stool" and will eat them as part of the normal diet. If the stool is excessively soft, submit a sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. Feed mainly timothy hay or similar grasses. Lilly can eat as much hay as she wants. Limit pellets to about 1/8 cup daily and limit vegetables and any fruit until the stool is normal.

Discontinue the apples and blueberries until the stool firms up. She can have as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as she wants. Pellets should be limited to about 1/4 cup daily. Make sure what you are seeing aren't "night stool" or cecotropes. These are normal in rabbits and they will ingest them as part of their normal diet. You can read more about cecotropes at the link below. https://www.petcoach.co/article/cecotropes-and-coprophagy/

Cecotropes are normal, if she is eating a lot then she will also produce a lot of feces. i would recommend to buy a good quality pellets form a pet shop, continue with the hay of course and when she is over 4-5 months you can start introducing greens and veggies to her diet.
