Just hay diet

Hi, one of my rabbits had runny poo for a while so I cut out the veg but still was happening. I then decided to try her without any pellets about three days ago and she hasn’t had any runny poo at all. She has unlimited access to Timothy hay and meadow hay. Also has a chance to eat grass most days but not every day. Is this enough for her to eat? The three others she’s with have also not had any pellets or veg either.

Should I give a small amount of veg instead of pellets for variety and what’s best for their digestion?
 
If it's solved the problem, I would leave her on hay only. If you think she might tolerate more in a week or two, you could try forage (apple, willow, bramble - branches & leaves) or some herbs - but I wouldn't rush it. Pellets are not essential, and some brands are known to cause issues in some rabbits.
