  Any changes in diet? Maybe a more experienced BB member could offer you some better advice, but I would call a vet that knows bunnies if it continues. Buns have super sensitive digestive tracts.

  You need to get them both to the vet. I’m sorry to sound dramatic but runny stool in young rabbits = urgent attention. Best they both go as the other one may need checking out – especially if it’s a parasite or bacteria causing this. Please keep us updated.

  I agree, anytime there are unexplained mushy poos, especially when there’s been no change in diet AND/OR it is in a baby, a vet visit is necessary. Babies get coccidia which can be fatal. A fecal test and thorough vet exam is needed. If you don’t already have a rabbit vet, let us know. We may be able to point you in a direction based on your location, or you can check out the House Rabbit Society’s vet page.

  Very good! Glad to hear you got it figured out! This doesn’t mean they can’t ever have carrots again, but I would wait awhile to introduce it, and when you do, just a tiny little piece as a treat.
