Environmental Diarrhea?

Hello,
I have a lionhead rabbit and I am a university student. Being a university student I have a house in London as well as a house just out of hamilton, ontario. Last school year my rabbit began getting diarrhea. It was not severe but it was smelly. I've put her on a diet of pellets and greens and for a while it seemed to help. I also have bottled water for her to ensure she is always eating and drinking the asme whether she is in London or Hamilton. However, I have noticed that the only time she gets diarrhea is in London, she will be completely fine in Hamilton and I will come back to London and within a day she will have diarrhea. Here I do leave my window open often so I dont know if this could contribute to it at all. Any thoughts on what I might do would be very helpful!
 
Hiya.. I'm maybe sounding mad here and have picked you up incorrectly...

Do you transport your bunny from ontario, Canada to London UK? Is your bunny eating lots of hay?
Excuse my stupidity if i have picked you up wrongly but seems a helluva lot of travelling for a bunny...

Usually it would be a diet of hay that would help, not pellets and greens.

Maybe bun gets a bit stressed in London and prefers being at home?
 
She has the exact same diet in both places. And she does have hay as well

The only real environment change i can think of is that sometimes it is warmer in my house in London (Ontario).
 
What about the water? is it the same supply / come from same place?

I would stop with the greens and give hay only for a while
