Answer
Hi Jordan,

take away the salt lick and mineral treats.  Get some acidophilus tablets/pills and either give him the tablet with his pellets or open the pill and sprinkle over his pellets.  

If he is not eating a lot of hay, he may have a dental problem (lots of lionheads have dental problems) that is causing him pain and thus, he's not eating enough hay and therefore getting diarrhea from a large lack of hay fiber.

As he is 3 months old you can also give him Alfalfa hay without worry.  He may like this better.  He really needs to have the large part of his diet be hay right now.  This should stop the diarrhea.

As he is so young I'd probably want to take him to a good rabbit vet, especially if he hasn't been to one yet.
