The passage of small, dry, rabbit-pellet-like stools is not constipation and instead reflects the desiccation (drying-out) mechanism and insufficient fluid intake.

rabbit feces /cecal pellets
(hard, round) rabbit feces.
Healthy rabbits produce two types of feces:
· Hard round feces of intestinal origin are rich in small pieces of hay and other debris. They can be seen around or in the litter-box.
· Smelly soft grape-like cecotropes (also called soft cecal pellets) coated with a thin layer of mucus that are produced in the cecum. They are rich in minerals, vitamins, proteins, water, and bacteria. To avoid the loss of these precious nutrients, the rabbit will re-ingest them as soon as they pass the anus, without chewing, to avoid breaking the outer coats of the grains. This enables the continuation of fermentation and the survival of bacteria inside the grains while passing the acid hostile environment of the stomach

scybala
(Sorry, misspelled my first attempt)
Without quotation marks. It's the very name of the things observed, not a description by analogy.
Obscure, but it's in the (unabridged) dictionaries (sing. scybalum).:-)
--------------------------------------------------
I've known this word for 50+ years, but I confess I've never seen it in print anywhere BUT in dictionaries. For that reason, I probably wouldn't use it myself. Too recondite.
If I've prompted ANYONE to go look it up, though, I've had my fun for the day.:-)

Take care:)
Unless I am mistaken, you posted at 6 minutes, and I posted at 5 minutes:)
Carol has a point, and I think "rabbit-like pellets" would have the English physicians having a bit of a giggle:)
Pedantic, I know!
