          Wet poo most often means the bunny isn’t eating enough hay, or getting to much pellets and treats. Try cutting back a bit on pellets, cut out all treats and try to encourage her to eat more hay.

          It can take a while for a bunny tummy to get back in order, so don’t expect her sticky poop to go away from one day to the next.

          Is she getting greens? Some buns are sensitive to certain greens.

            Could it be a cecotrope instead?

                 bam- i have never fed her treats (like what you buy at a pet store) i feed her 1/8 to 2/8 of a cup of pellets a day usually an 1/8 of a cup and then the veggies and  fruits i feed her are- apple (seedless) spinach grape carrot grass thats all i have fed her  so far (i have only had her for 4 days

                  I agree with Bam – cut out treats (ie. fruit) until her poops are better . Also, there is a chance Flopsy is younger than originally believed to be, and if she is less than 6 months old then her tummy might not be processing the fruit well.

                    luna- thank you so much your reply was very helpful! i will do what you say about the younger than 6 months thing i will probably not feed fruits and then after a few weeks start gradually start giving very small amounts and then start increasing as she gets older (even though i dont know her specific age)

                      If you’ve only had her for 4 days, the wet poop/extra cecals could be her tummy adjusting to her new environment. It’s rather a big change for a rabbit, to get a new home

                      It’s always a good idea to introduce new food items little by little.

                        Bam- yes i never leally thought about her ajusting (sorry for all the bad spelling) thanks for all the replies and her poo is now starting to harden agian thanks for all the advice. P.s i stopped feeding her grass beacouse  i had been feeding LOTS of grass to her and i gradually stopped and i think that may have been part of the problem with her poo 

                                                                                            sincerely, flopsybunny
