bunny with a runny bum

i have had a bunny come in the rescue, we had him neutered approx 5 weeks ago but since then, when eating greens he gets a runny botttom. he isfine on his dry food any hay and even carrots. Would he be ok without greens or does anyone have any suggestions.
 
he has had cabbage, brocolli, purple sprout leaves, never at the same time. i only give one vegetable at a time

skipping past the spam :roll: no he doesn't need greens to be healthy - some bunnies just can't tolerate them so I would cut them out, and maybe in a few months try just giving him a postage stamp sized piece, leave it a couple of days to see if there's a tummy upset, if not then reapeat - you can slowly increase the portion size over 2 or 3 weeks - Often if you give too much too soon, they never get levels of bacteria in their tummy sufficient to digest it, so you need to start slowly to give the bacteria a chance to multiply. If he had antibiotics at all that could have knocked out the 'good' bacteria as well as the bad
