        I just built a new hutch for my rabbits and changed there litter. Nothing else has changed but it looks like they either have really loose poop or diarrhea. Should I be concerned or is this normal? I only notice this in there outdoor hutch.

          True watery diarrhoea is abnormal and should be considered an emergency situation. Mushy poops while not normal are more common and can sometimes be caused by stress (perhaps moving into a new hutch). What is the new litter you are using, could they be eating it? Dietary changes or too much of some foods is the most common cause for mushy poops.

            I’m using eco straw for there litter and there poop is still round but really soft. And they are free feeding since they are only 2 months and they have unlimited hay.

              Ok, it shouldn’t be so soft though, do they eat a lot of hay? At 2 months they are still at more of a risk from coccidiosis, especially if you recently got them or they were weaned early, the stress of either of these factors could be an issue, however you usually see decreased appetite as well. If the soft poops progress to very watery poop then you’ll need to see a vet. At this stage it may just be the stress of a cage change, although encouraging more hay eating is a good idea too as hay is the best thing for firming up poops
