Baby rabbits with diarrhea are seriously ill and in danger of death. If your baby rabbit has diarrhea, bring it to a vet immediately!
If your adult rabbit has diarrhea, it may actually have cecal dysbiosis -- unformed cecals. *Bring your rabbit to your "rabbit-savvy" vet as soon as possible so you can determine the actual cause, and to treat the symptoms.*
Cecals (aka cecotropes, night feces) are a specialized kind of dropping that rabbits consume and redigest in order to get maximal nutritional value from their food. Cecals usually aren't seen by humans because they're consumed straight from the anus, but sometimes a spare one or two is left behind. A well-formed cecal is a small round ball, mushier than a rabbit's normal droppings but still with a regular shape -- sometimes they're found clustered together in a grape formation. Unformed or mushy cecals can be bigger, the size of a normal dropping, and they can be anything from just a little mushier than usual, to a runny liquid.
When you keep finding unformed cecals over a day or two, that could mean your rabbit isn't eating enough fibre (hay). Rabbits need a diet high in fibre: they should eat mostly hay (grass hay for adults, alfalfa for juveniles), with limited amounts of pellets and fresh greens daily. Too many fruits and vegetables can also lead to cecal dysbiosis; some rabbits are more sensitive to some fruits and vegetables than others -- closely observe and get to know your bunny on a personal level!
If encouraging hay, and feeding the right amounts of pellets and greens, doesn't resolve your rabbit's diarrhea within a day or two, or if you notice any other signs of ill health in your rabbit, bring her to the vet as soon as possible. Keep a close eye on your rabbit at this time! It's important that you bring your rabbit to the vet so that her symptoms can be treated and the true underlying cause can be identified.

Why does my buck have diarrhea when my doe eats the same thing as him and she doesnt get diarrhea and how do i stop him from having diarrhea. Also if the diarrhea is green what does that mean?
He might be a little sick. But if he looks pretty healthy, then it should pass. But if it stays for more than 3 days, I would take him to a vet. The diarrhea can kill a rabbit. Take away the water for 24 hrs. Give him some vitamins as well. Has he eaten too much of a watery veg e.g. cucumber. Ease of foods that are high in water. If it continues see a vet. The rabbit may just be sensitive to certain greens. Also, I've met a few rabbits that cannot eat store bought greens, only organic, fresh greens.

Can diarrhea kill a rabbit?
Commonly when rabbits appear to have diarrhoea, it is actually uneaten caecotrophs. Caecotrophs are special faeces which is from the caecum of the rabbit, usually the rabbit will eat the caecotrophs straight from it's anus to digest the material a second time and get any remaining nutrients from it. Rabbits can stop eating their caecotrophs for a number of reasons; the most common one being diet problems. Ensure the rabbit has plenty of fibre in the form of hay and also you could opt for a grass pellet type food as these have higher levels of fibre and better for the rabbits teeth also. If problem continues then take the rabbit to the vet incase something more serious is causing the problem.

What do you do if your rabbit has diarrhea and is attracting flies?
First of all, if your rabbit has diarrhea, you should immediately find out why and treat it. Make sure the rabbit is eating his pelleted food and some good timothy hay. Fresh water is an absolute MUST every day, especially during diarrhea because the rabbit could become dehydrated. Also with diarrhea, give slightly burnt toast and some bananas to your rabbit. Second, and very important, If you see your rabbit's butt area is dirty, CLEAN IT with warm soapy water, then wipe it dry with a soft towel. Fly strike, which is what you are describing here, can kill your rabbit within 12 - 24 hours! This can also spread to other rabbits in the close vicinity. When you see flies flying around, you can be sure they are laying eggs, which turn into maggots. Maggots travel quickly and are drawn to the moist, dirty hind end area of your rabbit. They get in there and can literally eat your rabbit's tissues. You must keep your rabbit's cage clean, especially in warm weather. Clean it every day while diarrhea persists, then every other day as the rabbit recovers. Clean the water dish also, and always provide fresh water and fresh food! Remember that your rabbit is in a cage. He is helpless and depends on you for food, water, hay, love, and a safe and clean home to live in. He cannot ask you for something to eat or for more water, and cannot tell you his cage needs cleaned. He cannot tell you that some flies have left maggots on his butt and they are eating him alive and it hurts and he is about to die. So PLEASE watch out for this! If the diarrhea persists more than a few days, DO take your rabbit to a small animal vet. Rabbits can go downhill very quickly. Diarrhea means the entire intestinal tract is inflamed or infected, which can lead to more severe problems. So do the bunny right and take him/her to the doctor. Make absolutely sure that you wash your hands immediately after cleaning up the rabbit's diarrhea. Avoid cuddling with the rabbit till he/she feels better.
Do apples give rabbits diarrhea?
Apples can give rabbits diarrhea, especially juvenile rabbits (younger than 8 or 9 months) and adult rabbits who have eaten a whole lot of apple. If your juvenile rabbit has diarrhea, this is an emergency requiring immediate veterinary attention. Hesitation will only cost your rabbit precious minutes! An adult rabbit with diarrhea or mushy stool should also see a vet as soon as possible (that very day; or the next day, if it's currently after office hours), and the rabbit should be cared for at home (first aid) until that time. If your rabbit is healthy, and eating a balanced diet, a bite or two of apple every few days or so shouldn't be a problem. Rabbits like apple and it makes a great treat! Remove all seeds before giving any apple to your rabbit. Apple seeds are toxic.
What does it mean if your rabbit has diarrhea when you put it outside?
Anytime your rabbit develops diarrhea it's most likely because it's been eating too much food with a high water content, like fresh grass, lettuce, or fruit. Cut your rabbit's diet back to food pellets and dried hay, and you should notice the droppings becoming firmer and drier within a day or two. If this is not the case, you may need to get bunny into the vet for a check-up, since it could be a symptom of an illness. If all is well, you can carefully reintroduce a couple treat foods, watching closely each time to see if any cause a repeat of the diarrhea.
