Answer
Dear Andrea,

This very common problem is a sign of cecal dysbiosis, which you can read about here:

The most common causes are incorrect diet:

and the pain of untreated dental problems, such as molar spurs:

Please find a good rabbit vet here:

who can help you figure out the source of the problem, treat it, and get bun back on the road to good health.  In the meantime, you can keep his bum clean with the protocols here:
