Not diarrhoea, but thin little craps, some joined with a "thread". Not keen on me handling his tummy either. Has been eating well (as Toony always does) especially lots of grass. Should I keep him off grass for a bit?

Thanks all :)
 
I would cut out the grass and see if that makes a difference, I introduce grass slowly after the winter famine! Hope Tonny will be ok :smitten:
 
Has he been introduced to any other newer grasses ?
Maybe something is just upsetting Toony and not the others, you know how they're so different from each other perhaps Toony's tum is more sensitive :( :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: bless him :-* :-* :-*

Now i get those poops sometimes too and for no reason i can trace.... :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ that's when i switch veggies cause apart from knowing that you always have the same hay and pellets it could only be the veg ? it might be a hit and miss job... trial and error :-\

Hopefully Lorna or Mary come on and make a better suggestion than mine O0
 
perhaps the grass is a little rich for toony, try less grass and more hay and hopefully you'll see an improvement. if concerned get tooney vet checked. sending hugs and cuddles :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-*
 
I gave Toony some probiotics. He seems fine now ::)

Was furious that there was no grass for a couple of meals ::)
 
I remember reading somewhere that the spring grass is quite rich and can cause a bit of tummy upset, I think it was on here, not sure. Karen at RGPR is the grass expert, may be worth Ming her?
