I would def say diarrhea, like Phill's Mum thinks! He obv has a very sensitive tummy. Perhaps some probiotics if he isn't already on it? The vet may want to take a faeces sample to check if there are any problems. I'd stick to the pellet and hay diet for now, his digestive system obv can't cope with anything else. Is there any blood in the Di?

How old is he again?

I'd still say that was Di coming out as he could have some hard droppings and some Di. This is what I see in dogs at work when they are ill, some normal + some Di. I'd keep his diet very plain and perhaps get a faeces sample to the vet.

It could be urine...just discoloured because it's been in touch with the faeces. How is the bun, otherwise? Well in himself? If not, a visit to the vets might be worthwhile...
 
Athena got that for a while I think it was after eating the plaster from the walls. When we had the building works she started leaving this funny brown liquid all over the place it dripped out ther bum and there were little puddles everywhere but she was doing normal poos too.

The vet couldn't find anything wrong with her so I just blocked up all the plaster areas and about the same time I started adding probiotic to the water for Zeus so she got that too. I also decreased the pellets and increased the hay around the same time too (for Zeus).

I don't know why it stopped it may have been all or none of the above things that helped but after a month of it on and off she hasn't had it in ages!

caz it happens when you give him anything other than pellets and hay! even oats! i think i am gonna get constant probs with this bunny

I would consider insurance if I were you ;)!

I never found out what caused Athena's problem so at least you have a clue. Looks like he is going to be on a very strict diet, what is he like on grass, does the same thing happen?

Poor you this is a difficult one!! I agree like the others that he seems intolerant to something, keep on with his hay to prevent GI Stasis like someone mentioned....you really don't want things to get clogged up. I agree about taking a sample to a vet, maybe there is some ingredient his body just rejects and they can find out what it is? :?:
