It looks like your bunny is having some discharge form that eye. You may want to consider applying a warm water compress until you can get him to a veterinarian. Poop that is stuck together may be his cecotrophs. Those are the stool that the bunny should be eating. If he isn't eating them it may be because he isn't feeling well. I would really recommend that he be a veterinarian soon.
