QuestionI just got a rabbit about 3 weeks ago. Everything was fine until we switched its diet. The person at the pet store said to give it pellets so we did, but then i read at several places, they should only be giving to as treats, so I started giving it fresh vegetables instead of pellets. Ever since I did that (3 days ago) My rabbit has not, well, I guess pooped. She acts normal, except for that. I couldnt find anything on the internet that suggests what to do. Please help asap.
Sincerely,
Brooke, and Bunnie
AnswerDear Brooke,
I think it's very important that you read the following two articles as soon as possible:
www.bio.miami.edu/hare/poop.html
and
www.bio.miami.edu/hare/ileus.html
A rabbit's general health is strongly expressed by its fecal output, and if she's honestly not pooping at all, it could be very serious.
If you don't yet have a good bunny vet, you can find one here:

For an article on proper rabbit diet, please go here:

Hope this helps. Please write back if you have any other questions.
