Oh a Flemish Giant! I had one of those!! I adopted him and his wife from a rabbit rescue. He had the sweetest personality (but his wife had a LOT of rabbitude- I think she had been a school pet and was not treated well)- https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UdRIsMxmol8/SeJ59YdGziI/AAAAAAAAAPU/qA8kEEaDQ1E/w674-h814-no/dave%2B3-15-2009%2B2-45-34%2BPM.jpgAs for poopy butt- bunnies are so sensitive so it could be anything- is he stressed out? Is he getting enough timothy grass and fresh veg? I see that you are feeding them pellets- honestly that could be it. Giving them lots of timothy grass and a variety of fresh veg seems to be the best. Here's a list! http://rabbit.org/suggested-vegetables-and-fruits-for-a-rabbit-diet/Definitely steer clear of fruits like banana and strawberry- yes they like them but they are terrible for bunnies- it can really mess up their extremely sensitive digestive systems. I know fresh veg is expensive- but what I was doing was going to the market and produce stands and asking them for their carrot tops and other greens that they might not be keeping (trimmings and such). Also I picked as many dandylion greens as I could- and mint (which grows like weeds around here). Both favorites of my buns!

They do get pellets every day, but they also get a big salad every morning, lol. They usually fill up in the morning on their veggies (mostly romaine lettuce, a few bits of chopped up carrots or bell peppers, and mint leaves...i also grow cilantro, dill, and basil that I'll chop up and toss in there, depending on what's got the most growth on it at the time, lol)...I usually put less than a cup of pellets in there for them to share, and they never eat the whole bowl, so I wonder if I should just cut that out all together...I try to keep their box filled with hay...they do run out sometimes while I'm at work, but I always fill it every night, and I assume he's eating some of it, and it's not all Toby, LOL! The poop butt is driving me insane though. Maybe I'll try cutting out the pellets all together for a while, just to see if that clears him up...I want the poor little man to be all clean and pretty again, haha.ALSO - OMG, your Flemish is huge and adorable! I was told that Toby was a full-blooded Flemish, but he's not NEARLY that big. I was really hoping for a huge bunny, but oh well, I love the little booger anyway.
Very cute buns! I hope Hershey is well soon!
Barb seriously if you need some apple wood I can send it to you! We have a nice organic never-been sprayed tree
