Expert Answer

When a rabbit’s stool is too dry and hard, it usually has difficulty defecating. Breaking the feces apart reveals dry fiber, and in severe cases it can cause anal fissures with blood in the stool. Hard stool is often caused by hairball syndrome, insufficient water intake, or lack of exercise.

The owner should feed the rabbit appropriate fruit and vegetables to promote intestinal movement, and provide ample drinking water daily with fixed amounts and times to avoid overeating that harms digestion. Finally, let the rabbit out of the cage to play, which promotes gut movement and prevents constipation.
