Reddit mentions of Oxbow Rabbit Young (5 lb)

I think the soft poops you are talking about is cecotropes - see here http://www.bunssb.org/bunnies/guide-bunny-poops/.

He is supposed to eat them usually, but does not or is not keeping up. I think the reason might be a classic one - overfeeding him dry pelleted food, or feeding the wrong brand, or too many treats and not enough hay. Hay should be 90% of his diet!

Babies tend to sometimes have excessive cecotropes which normalizes with age, but proper diet is important.

​

The proper diet for a baby bun under 6 months - UNLIMITED hay (mix of alfalfa and timothy), 1/2 to 2/3rds cup MAX of plain pellets per day (not colorful bits or seed in them), 1 to 2 cups of green leafy veggies starting at 12 week. Carrot, kale, and fruit only as occasional very small treats only after 5 months or so, not before. No yogurt drops or processed sugars, seeds, nuts or carbs.

Your bun is only 2 months - so right now you need to only give hay and pellets. No veggies yet and for sure not treats.

He should not have unlimited pellets even as a baby- the portion for an adult bunny is 1/4 cup of pellets (4 tablespoons) per day MAX. For a baby you can feed about 1/2 cup split into two portions. Overfeeding pellets leads to the bun not eating her cecotropes and other issues.

​

Proper diet:

1. Unlimited hay - good quality unlimited hay should always be available.
   
   
   1. Hay should be timothy or orchard + mix in alfalfa until 6 months old.
      
2. Pellets - 1/2 cup per day MAX - that is 8 tablespoons! Stand your ground!
   
   
   1. Also a good brand is very important - pellets should be PLAIN without any of the colorful bits like treats, dried fruit, cereals, nuts and seeds. All these for bunnies are like junk food to humans (yes pet stores 100% don't care and just sell the stuff that looks the best to unsuspecting customers) and excess sugar and carbs can cause major issues for bunny's very delicate digestive system by disrupting the bacteria balance and also cause weight gain. Try to select the pellet brand higher is fiber and lower in protein and fat. Look at the ingredients and select a product that has hay/grass listed at the very top of the list and has as few other ingredients (such as oats, cereals, meals, flour, soy, etc) as possible. All of these are "extra" additives that fill up the space in bunny's tummy and result in less hay consumption also.
      
      
      1. http://www.therabbithouse.com/diet/rabbit-food-comparison.asp - brand comparison here to select the brands that fit the parameters the best (note that fat should only be 1.5% to 2% for a normal bun, not 5% like they specify).

   2. Greens - 1 to 2 cups per day (or 1 to 2 platefuls) - only after 12 weeks old
      
      
      1. Selecting the right greens is key - greens should be green, as for example some veggies like peppers and carrots are high in sugar and should only be given as small treats, not daily veggies.
         
      2. Try dark leafy greens like arugula, romaine lettuce, spring mix, spinach, celery, carrot greens, bok choy; also, fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, oregano, dill, mint, basil. Kale (only give in limited quantities).
         
      3. The best way it to rotate veggies from day to day so the bunny gets a variety of nutrients.
         
      4. This list has great insights https://rabbit.org/suggested-vegetables-and-fruits-for-a-rabbit-diet/.
         
   3. Treats - not until he is 5 months at least
      
      
      1. Treats should be small potions and occasional, not with every meal ---->>> fruit + carrot is a treat so give in small amounts - about 2 thumbs width of banana is one portion, a couple raspberries or blueberries, 1 mid sized strawberry, one larger grape, 1 baby carrot, etc. if you give dried fruit - give less at the concentration of sugar is higher.
         
      2. Never give any processed foods like yogurt drops

         You need to keep his bottom clean!
         
         If the poop is really stuck on a tangled likely trimming the fur would be the best way to trim out the poops. You may need a second set of hands and use scissors with rounded edges for animals to be safe.
         
         You can also try to gently brush it out.
         
         If nothing else work try a shallow butt bath like here http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/buttbath.html, then dry well and brush to avoid matting.
