Wet poo

Maisie has been home for about 24 hours, last night she had pooed and weed and had eaten (food was provided by the breeder)
This morning all looked fine, if not a little destroyed. Just been out there and there is a 4 or 5 wet poos and a clump of it, i picked her up and her bum is wet with it. The individual ones were quite wet so i'm worrying, she's still munching on hay as i type and she's been playing with her toys.
Its really frustrating because i had bunns for 6 years and i'm questioning everything that i should no.
:cry:
 
All I can say is try not to worry, I know easier said then done. My two were very wet yesterday, stress from coming to a new home with new smells etc must of upset them. I only gave them hay yesterday and lots of fresh water and it seems to have done the trick.
Rabbits normally do poo that look like a wet bunch of grapes (best way they were described to me) rabbits tend to eat these as they are half digested mine tend to clean themselves but with the extra they had yesterday I just picked them up and put it in the litter box
 
shes on pellets the breeder gave us and i gave her a shot glass (closed i had to an egg cup :lol: ) full morning and night and a mountain of hay shes chow downed on. I've just seen her drink for the first time so she defo knows where that is.
They are like wet grapes, someone on my other thread it was pretty normal but i'm keeping an eye on her just in case.
