soft poo remedy?

hello :wave: im looking after my brothers house rabbit and she has soft squashy poos is there something i can give her to help? i've heard strawberry leaves are supposed to help but is there anything else, she is hopping poo patches all over the carpet lol
 
hay water and mixed rabbit food i know its not the best food but she's not my bunny and occasional not daily carrot n a rare bite of a banana she doeesnt have soft poos all the time though
 
How much muesli is she fed?

I'd cut out carrot and banana completely, even if she doesn't get them a lot. Make sure she has plenty of hay topped up regularly to encourage hay eating, mine love getting fresh hay and don't stop eating it for ages!

If she doesn't have them all the time then I imagine it has to be something in her diet. If you can find out what it is then you can help to educate your brother as soft poos can get stuck to rabbits bums, then they could be at more risk of flystrike, sores etc.
