Is it normal that my rabbit's droppings are smaller than usual?

My rabbit is around 4-5 years old now and starting a few days ago his droppings are half the size than usual and he seems to be a lot lazier. Hope that this is normal!Is it normal that my rabbit's droppings are smaller than usual?
I would take your bun to the vet. Small droppings can indicate GI Stasis, which can usually be treated successfully by a competent vet, but can be deadly if left untreated.





It's really good that you've been paying attention to the clues your rabbit has been giving you. Many people wouldn't notice the lethargy and smaller droppings, and then they would wonder why their rabbit died.Is it normal that my rabbit's droppings are smaller than usual?
GI stasis can be a problem in rabbits - basically, their digestive system slows down or stops. This can be a veterinary emergency. A rabbit's digestive system is a carefully timed and balanced system, and its slowing can indicate a problem.





Often, you'll hear stasis referred to as ';wool block'; or something similar.





As your bun is appearing more lethargic, I would probably recommend taking him to the vet ASAP. It's a good sign if he's still pooping, as you've caught it relatively early, but you must act quickly to resolve the situation.





We have a senior bunny who is prone to stasis after some dental surgery he had a year ago. Usually the first thing I notice is that he's going off food, before his stools get irregular. I pull his pellets and offer wet, leafy greens and unlimited timothy hay for a few days, and the situation usually resolves itself. Sometimes I will offer 1/3 a banana, peel and all. The key with bunnies is: they MUST eat continuously, and in a bunny with smaller stools, he is probably eating less or not at all.





If you're unfamilliar with statis, you're best to contact your vet ASAP. Some bunnies need medication to help regulate their guts, bacterial help (eg. Bene-bac) or there is something going on, eg. dental problems, infection.








Here's a few articles on stasis:
