Just to add both rabbits are free range - have full access to house and garden. Garden completely enclosed. Have full cover.

Feeding them dried food as our garden grass is parched. And supplementing from the fridge. Normally this time of year we would not even see them, as only interested in them selves and the food in garden.

I have seen one of mine eat her normal poops as well as cecals, but only if she's had something particularly delicious (like some really good hay), apparently it needs to go through 3 times rather than the regular 2. Are they still doing normal cecal poops and eating those?
