Sounds like she needs more fiber, fruit, veggies, and tons of water. Make sure she is not drinking anything with sodium in it, like soft drinks. You might also want to push her to move more. I know it sounds like a dumb idea, knowing an almost 2 year old never stops moving. Do not give her too much milk or cheese. They will constipate you.
Also, if she is not chewing properly, this can happen.

This is normal. My daughter was always constipated as a baby and as a young child and she will also have these little pebbles in her diaper. It could be the diet. Try giving her some leafy vegetables or some diluted prune juice. I gave this to her and it made her bowel movement softer. This is nothing to be alarmed about. My son was the total opposite.
Everyone thinks that bananas make you go...IT DOESN'T. It'll only make her bind.

Try getting her to drink more water. It sounds like constipation. Also, make sure she's running around and being active -- that also helps. If you don't tell kids that they are gross, they will generally eat prunes and drink prune juice w/o a problem -- it's actually very sweet!
My daughter did the same thing, and I did the above things to resolve it. I found it wasn't too big a problem unless/until she was crying when she had to poop.

From a dad here, but increase her fluid intake and monitor her eating habits. Make sure she is eating fruits and veggies. Keep a log of what she is eating and see if their is a pattern to foods consumed and the 'rabbit poop' incidents. My son and daughter both had food allergies which we helped find out doing this.

It sounds like she's constipated. It shouldn't be like "rabbit" pellets. Make sure your daughter is getting lots of fiber in her diet. Hope this helps!

In addition to the fiber suggestions, which are excellent, make sure she's getting enough to drink. If she's only drinking juices and milk all day, she may not be getting enough water in her system, and dehydration will show up as pellet poop. Make sure she's drinking water.

One of my kids does that too. I know she's not constipated and I know she gets enough fiber. The girl loves oranges. But, you can try upping your child's fiber and fruit and water. That may help. Watermelon can also make stools really loose. However, if it's not bothering her, I would leave it be.
By the way, bananas actually are constipating!!!!

If your doctor says it is okay, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The first thought that came to my mind was she might be a little constipated. Try increasing her fruit, fiber and water intake. Good luck.
