i'm really worried

cal

New Kit
as you may well know, i have two rabbits
one of them has just shown signs on diarhea :(
although he is still eating and drinking i am very concerned,
is there any advice i can get?
i'm not particularly sure whether it's diarhea or not, as it is slimey and looks like goo, i'm really worried,
any advice offered is appreciated :)

I can't say without a photo tbh; sometimes if a rabbit pees and poops in the same place it can make the poop all gooey but to be safe keep a close eye on them and make sure they're eating plenty of hay. Anything they might of eaten recently that could cause the poopies? if it gets worse definately take them to a vet.
 
Are they small smelly poos bunched together like grapes?
Like so...

If so they will be caecotrophs which are perfectly normal, the rabbit should be automatically eating them. If there are a lot left around it may be his diet is too rich.

If it is genuine diar (can't spell it :) ) I would advise hay only for now and a trip to the vets asap.
