Healthy rabbits don't need anything special to stimulate their bowel movements. Food and water naturally stimulate the rabbit's digestive tract and keep everything moving.
In newborn baby rabbits, bowel movements and urination are stimulated by the mother rabbit licking the genitals. (This is the same with cats and other animals.)
Sick rabbits may need extra help to keep their digestive systems moving and functional (including healthy bowel movements). These rabbits need motility drugs (like cisapride, metoclopramide), belly massage, pain medications, force-feeding (assuming there's no blockage), and lots of hydration. Exercise should be encouraged because that stimulates bodily functions as well.
