Adult Guinea Pig
Hopefully some of you rabbit savy people will be able to help (and hopefully you aren't eating your lunch! )
Millie is a pretty overweight bunny, and very hairy. The vet usually trims her back end when we go for injections but I also have to give her bum baths every so often which luckily she tolerates.
As she is on her own at the moment I've been able to see exactly which poo's are hers. She does the normal round, dry droppings but she also has these big lumps of soft poo that look like it's made from loads of tiny wet droppings. These lumps can be pretty big and it's these that stick to her hair - not nice. Due to her size she obviously can't groom/clean herself properly in the bum department.
Diet wise she is on Excel pellets, has some veg, whatever grass she can graze on and plenty of hay. I will be moving her onto SS when she runs out of her Excel.
Anyone any ideas if this is preventable or is it something she will likely do forever? I've had her for 14 months, on a variety of diets without any difference.
Can provide pictures when I get home if anyone is interested >>>
