Soft poos - should I Change their nuggets?

My rabbits are nearly six. Recently I've noticed Leon does a mixture of normal poos and lumps of soft mushy poos. I've had to wipe his bum a few times which isnt like him. He's still eating fine and acting normal in every other way.

We used to give him a small piece of fruit every other day but we stopped doing that thinking that was the reason but looks like its not. Going to the vet soon to get nails clipped so will mention it.

I feed them science selective (have done for years) - should I change their feed?
 
I wouldn't change the pellets - if they have been fed this for years it is unlikely the problem. SS is a good brand with the right amount of protein and loads of fibre. Have there been any changes or stress in their lives recently? Does Leon have a another rabbit to live with?

What is his exact diet (with amounts)? And how much hay does he eat a day?
