If vet rules out health issues....dental, obesity, arthritis, gastric upset from infection etc....then you have to work with it being a 'diet' issue. Commonly a diet too high in carbohydrates and protein and low in fibre cause this. The only way to rectify is to significantly reduce pellet consumption and up the hay intake instead. Hay, hay and more hay.
Good luck at the vets.

My rabbit Ebony was producing loads for the first few weeks when I got her. It was the muesli food that was doing it though, I think. I've managed to change her on to junior excel and up her hay intake and this has made a huge difference to her. She's still doing the odd excess one but nothing like it was.
