Answer #1

Make sure you clean his cage VERY well, and make sure you don’t bathe him, but help him clean himself by wiping his bottom with a damp cloth.

Diarrhea in rabbits can lead to fly strike, and you REALLY don’t want that.

Answer #2

Ok, well he is having a system imbalance for sure.

Try giving him uncooked oatmeal for today and see if he is better tomorrow - if not, get him to a vet.

Answer #3

all he’s eaten was hay and his food..the pellets..and hes poo has been little round things..just today its not..

Answer #4

If it doesnt clear up very soon take him to the vet, babies are very vulnerable to dehydration…

Answer #5

thank you both so much

Answer #6

What has he been eating?

Bunnies should have solid little round poops…so something is very wrong.
