I've noticed that Lily has a bit of a runny bum this afternoon.
I bought her some dried veg yesterday and gave her a bit to try...
Do you think thats what could have caused it?

Any ideas on what to do now??

I cant pick her up yet to check her bum properly as she's too wrigly and i dont want to frighten her, but i also dont want her getting fly strike..

cant help with any suggestions, but as you have already suggested you need to keep her rear end clean to avoid strike
Its for her own good, hopefully this will pass shortly

if shes not used to veg it could be that. it could also be stress if shes not yet completly settled. toast is good for upset tummmies though and they love it!!!

if your worried about her bum you can clean it with wet wipes while covering her head in a towel to try to keep her calmer. This works a lot easier if there are two of you!! give her treats afterwards though to help her forget about her ordeal and hopefully she will forgive you. some bunnies enjoy being pampered, i had a nethie who was a right stroppy cow when she wanted to be but if she knew she was getting a bath and blow dry she was happy and well behaved.

poor girl its probably just all the change, is she on the same food as before? Id wait a few weeks til shes settled for veg. she should clean the poop off her self

yeah, she was cleaning her bum but i have now noticed a bit of poo stuck to her back leg...
I tried to wipe it off but she kicked me

I dont know what food she was on before, i asked the girl but she didnt know the make and didnt have a pack to hand

i'm sure she'll be ok, if it gets super bad then straight to the vets

Lottie suffers with a runny bum and if she got overweight she often didn't clean it off herself. I cut out all her veg, reduced her pellets and increased their hay and her bot has ben sparkling since then. When I do give ehr the occassional veg I make sure its nothing watery so she mainly has brocilli

I had bought her some rabbit treats and gave her some...

Then i found out that they cant have potato but it has potato in the pack!

thats so typical I dont bother with those "treats" I use the odd raisen and thin slices of carrots as treats. Hopefully when she gets the all clear at the vets u can start to introduce these things
