new bunnies with jelly poop

[sherrihargrove]

I got 2 new zealand bunnies 4 days ago they are 2 months old. today when I cleaned the tray i saw a few berries but mostly jelly blobs. I have no idea what this is unless the move and food change might be the reason. ADVICE PLEASE.

Most likely they are completely normal cecotropes. It's a type of poo the is produced once a day, and is usually eaten to help replenish gut bacteria. Lots of hay helps aid digestion.

Thanks...they have a full hay feeder and I hope you are right this makes me crazy.

Could be cecotrophes, though I wouldn't be surprised if the move stressed them out a little and is causing some digestive problems. It is good that you're offering them hay; that is the best thing for digestive health. Just make sure all of them are eating, drinking, and acting normally otherwise.

I agree with both @junebuggena and @BantamLover21 . I saw something similar (their poop looked slightly "melty") when I brought my Silver Foxes home - they spent over an hour in the car (their first car ride), came to a new and strange place, began eating new food. After a few days, their poop was back to normal.
