Question
Hello,
 My male rabbit used to have a full litter box of poop in the early morning. It is now mostly spread out throughout the day. He is very active and eats as much as he always has. The stool is normal in shape and consistency. My vet says this is not a problem. Any insight? Thank you.

Answer
Dear Roger,

I agree with your vet.  As long as the poops are normal shaped, and he's producing plenty of them, it doesn't matter when he does.  Keep an eye on his appetite and behavior as the best indicators of his health.  For more info, please see:

Hope that helps!
