Why is my rabbit's poop mushy, not eating, and not pooping?

Question

My 8 month old rabbit Stanley pooped yesterday and it was a bit mushy and in another place astring poop. Today he pooped the morning and it was a bit mushy. After that he didn't poop at all.He drank very little water in the morning and had a 4 inch carrot. He runs after me sometimes but is sleeping otherwise. He is not at all eating hay and very little pellets. He had a little lettuce in the evening and a small banana. He didn't poop yet. This is the pic of his pool y'day and of him today.

Discontinue lettuce and bananas. Either may contribute to soft or loose stool. Limit pellets and feed as much timothy hay or similar grasses as Stanley wants to eat. Rabbits will produce two types of droppings, with one being softer which they will reingest to extract nutrients. If the soft stool persists or worsens or if Stanley stops eating, have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits.
