Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male

We brought my son's rabbit to our house from his grandmother's house yesterday, we got him a new cage, got him all set up and everything and I noticed in the middle of the night there was a little bit of diarrhea on the floor of the cage. I cleaned it up and have been keeping an eye on him, his poop is back to solid little balls now, should I be concerned and take him in to see a vet or do you think it was just the change in environment and getting fresh celery yesterday that he wasn't used to.

Usually diarrohea in rabbits is wuite serious, but in this case if the faeces is back to normal and the rabbit is eating well he should be okay. It was likely a combination of stress and celery. Celery isnt great for rabbits, stick to green leafy veg for occasional treats. If it recurs or the rabbit looks poorly go to the vet.
