Discontinue the apples and blueberries until the stool firms up. She can have as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as she wants. Pellets should be limited to about 1/4 cup daily. Make sure what you are seeing aren't "night stool" or cecotropes. These are normal in rabbits and they will ingest them as part of their normal diet.
