I would say it looks like urine but no expert. :? Does look a bit similar to when Merlin had cystitis. Hope bunny is OK and sending vibes.
 
I'm not sure. I've heard urine can be really dark sometimes, and I dont THINK it looks like diarrhea. I once held a sick bun who had diarrhea alll over me and it was.. chunkier. So I'd say dark urine or.. something else. How is bun doing otherwise? Everything seem okay?
 
Could be dark urine (Rabbit wee can be that colour as a result of porphyrins in the diet)
Could be unabsorbed fluid from the GI tract (caecum/bowel) which is abnormal.

If it's from the GI tract it's likely to smell more offensive than if it's dark wee.
Has she been on antibiotics recently ?

I would syringe up a sample of the fluid and take it and the Bun to a Vet xx
