          How is his diet? Is he eating and drinking like normal? Did he eat something he shouldnt have? Is he has active as normal? If your worried, consider going to the vet. Bring a stool sample just in case

            The eating and drinking-part is the most important. Are there normal, round poop as well as mushy poop? Sometimes a bunny gets poopy butt or sticky poop due to producing surplus cecals (the poop the bun should eat). If it’s that, there’s also normal poop. It normally doesn’t affect appetite.

                    Oh. Then don’t give him a treat. If the mushy poop is watery or has mucus in it, or if there are no other poop of the normal type and if he refuses all food, you want to call your vet. Observe him. Is he active? Does he look comfy when he’s lying down? Signs of gas/discomfort is restlessness, frequent shifting of position, pressing his tummy against the floor like he was doing push-ups.

                    Occasional mushy poop is common in rabbits and can mean they get a bit too rich food. F ex if he has alfalfa hay and has eaten a lot of it. Then you could cut down on the alfalfa and offer more grassy hay.
