Question
Hi Amy, my name is Elisabet. I have black rex about 2-3 months old. today i realize he passing paste stool. still round but soft and it seems have slums attached to the stool. now he refused to eat his pellet and timothy hay, and drink. but when i show him broccoli he's jumping and ask for the broccoli. i used to give him greens, but since i read in the internet that 2-3 months old bunny shouldn't eat greens i stopped the greens. but now he refused to eat anything but greens. i'm afraid that's a first sign of diarrhea...is it? and his teeth is moving...but now it's stooped. he still have stamina, he kicked everytime i tried to feed him ( crushed pellet )or drink him. and just recently i give him drink that contain L.Acidhopilus...and he start eat a very tiny amount by himself, but that's it...he did't eat anymore...any suggestion?

Answer
this could either be the sign of a stubborn bunny or a sick bunny, unfortuanately without being there in person I can tell you. But having soft stools and not eating is enough for me to warrent a trip to the vet, you have to be really careful in rabbits especially young ones not to change their diet's to quickly or it can cause stomach problems sometimes severe.
