Why are my buns poops wetter than normal? She has also been having them a lot more frequently, along with a lot more pees. What could be wrong with her and how can I stop it?

Rabbits have a very sensitive GI system. Some causes for loose/wet stools:

* internal parasites (worms)
* colitis
* dietary indiscretion (ate a food she that was new to her)
* stress

Those are just a few reasons. My suggestion is to start her on a probiotic and if there is no change or the condition worsens then she will need to see a vet.

You must use a probiotic made for rabbits like this one:

( https://www.amazon.co.uk/PETS-Dolfos-Probiotic-Beta-Glucan-Digestion/dp/B07CW64WMF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=probiotic+rabbit&qid=1554727747&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 )

Be sure her diet is 100% correct (mostly hay and minimal pellets) and don't introduce any new foods for the next few weeks.

Hope this helps. Best wishes.
