Rabbits often engage in redigestion.

They eat their poop, sometimes as it is coming out.

The large light colored poops are first runs.

The small dark pellets are second runs.

What you are observing is which buns are more efficient at using their diet.

Rabbits actually need a certain amount of rerun on their food to use it efficiently. So probably some of your buns are feeling a bit of need for additional nutrients, and some don't.

Not surprising since you feed a lot of hay. Throw the guys with the dark poops a few alfafa nuggets.
