for the last few days i notice that bambi has soft stool. It became bigger and a little bit soft, and my soft i mean i can squeeze it, usually i couldnt. However, along with the soft ones, there are normal, hard one also. I've been giving him aout 10-20 rolled oats each day and i kinda forgot to put a lot of hay in his cage so im wondering if thats what made his stool soft or hes sick?

That doesn't sound like as problem, they won't all be exactly the same all the time. It depends on what he eats and how much.
If he's not eating as much hay or eating more. It's usually the fruits that make them soft.
If your worried try a bit of burnt toast as a treat for a couple for days.

since you haven't over treated him or changed treats... just curious.. did you by any chance switch foods or where you get the food. if it's milled in a different place, that can cause soft poop. [that happened to me]
one would think it would all be the same.. but thats what you get for thinking right....
