soft stools

Question
I have an 18 month old florida white bun.She was spayed in july through a clinic quite far from my house as i could not find a good rabbit vet near me. She had a thourgh checkup as well as blood tests and was found to be healthy. When she was younger i wrote to you with the same problem but turned out it was the pellet mix she was getting as well as too many rabbit "treats". She was then put on a mix 1/2 and 1/2 alfalfa and timothy pellets,seemed everything was fine.For about the last 2 weeks she has been having the same problem only this time its a large soft mass stuck to her rear that i gently remove with my hand in a basin with a small amount of warm water.I have been looking on line to get some insight and it seems i may be feeding her too much vegies thus preventing her from eating sufficient hay.I give her 3 small plates of vegies a day with unlimited timothy hay.My main concern is that i never see her drink water,she is free range in certain rooms and has fresh water available,I am concerned if i take away the vegies completely she will become dehydrated.I am not sure how to go about doing this and as well should i find someone to tests her stools? She is healthy otherwise it seems,normal droppings the balance of the day,eats well,very active.Any input would be greatly appreciated,thank you very much.

Dear Anita,

I may have sent you this link before, but here it is again:

If her diet is fine now, then the next most common culprit is molar spurs or other dental problem causing discomfort, and hence, GI tract slowdown.  Please see:

and find a rabbit-savvy vet to do a deep molar exam here:

Hope this helps.
