Answer
ok first off hun why do you have a 3 week old baby? This is way to earily for it to be away from its mother and siblings! This alone could be the issue because mom helps them use the bathroom still from time to time. That baby needs its mom. The only thing you can do is pull all its pelleted food and if your giving veggies STOP its to young. Give only a high quilaty green timothy hay as much as it wants on free feed till the runny stool clears up you can also try alfla hay
