Poorly bun, do I seperate from group?

One of my youngsters (12 weeks) has eaten something dodgy and has very runny poos. Appetite is down but she is still eating. Because I want to keep a close eye on her hay consumption and state of poos I have put her into an indoor cage but then left the cage in the shed with the others(free range but locked in the shed).

Should I let her out so she can lay with the group and maybe feel comforted? Or keep her in the cage for the above reasons? :?
 
It can be more stressful for them to be separated. Is there anyway maybe you could bring them all into a place you could observe them? That way they can all be together and you can see how your poorly bun is.

Are you sure its something he ate that caused the diarrhoea?

With five buns I have no where but the shed and it has no lighting yet. I am concerned about her becoming stressed which is why I left her in the shed, I thought about putting her sister in with her but them I would n't be so sure about poos and feeding.

I am not sure about what has made her poorly but I cut down a tree in their rabbit garden yesterday and have kind of assumed she's munched some leaves she should n't have.

Her eyes are bright, she's inquisitive, a little quiet, her hay appitite is down but she wolfing the grass and dandelion leaves to encourage her to eat I have given her. I just want to be sure she's not eating hay(or is) and still has runny poo(or not) before I take her to the vets tomorrow.
