Question
Today I just found something that concerns me about my rabbits poo. four droppings connected by thread looking stuff??? is this serious or normal sometimes... she hasnt been acting in pain just her normal binky self.

thanks

Answer
Dear Raeanne,

The poops are probably stuck together by shed hair that she ingested while grooming.  It's shedding season, and this is normal.  But since she's shedding, take extra care to groom off loose fur, make sure she has LOTS of fresh hay and wet greens and fresh water to keep things moving smoothly.  You can read more here:

Hope this helps.
