It might be diarrhiah (cant spell) maybe thedutch bunny is used to the pet stores food and not used to your friendsnew food, maybe in a few days it will adjust to it.

 

Or it couldbe the redigestablepoops they have to eat twice inorder to get the nutients they need , Keeping aclose eye on the matter will tellyou exactlly which it is , ifit turns runny andwattery add oats andhay no pellets till it drys upagain , then resume pellets a little at atime .

Bunnies have two different types of poop.

Like Gypsy said, it could it be cecotrophes,the poop that they re-ingest to be digested a secondtime. They are clumped together in clusters, soft and quitesmelly.

Old fashioned oats not the instant ones.
