Yeah sounds like diahrrea.

Quit doing the cage moving. That adds stress to a rabbit and stress can cause diahrrea. Make sure the rabbit has plenty of water to keep from getting dehydrated. Also make sure to clean the water bowls out. The water and water bowls need to be clean.

I'd recommend pulling the rabbit off all of it's feed for 24 hours. The food in the stomach is what the bacteria that causes diahrrea lives and grows on, so removing the food in the rabbit's stomach by not feeding it for 24 hours will help remove that bacteria that is causing the problem.

After 24 hours if you see the diahrrea clearing up you can start feeding it stemmy hay such as timothy hay or straw. The roughage will help. You can also probably put your rabbit back on about one half it's normal ration of pellets.

After 48 hours or so it should be OK to put back on full pellets if the diahrrea has ceased. If not, keep the rabbit on stemmy hay and a half ration of pellets.

If you are feeding any greens, grass, fruits, or vegetables please stop feeding them right away. They will cause diahrrea especially if given in excess.

It sounds like she has diarrhea. Rabbits don't vomit.

Take away any food (pellet, veggies, treats, etc.) and just give her hay.

Keep plenty of water in the cage, if she doesn't drink it from a bottle, you can try putting a small dish in there. She needs to drink.

The stress of cage-moving might add to it, try keeping her in the same spot for a while.

And take her to the vet as soon as you can.

Take away all his pellets, vege's, fruit, all food, except hay. He needs to eat some dry hay. Make sure his water is clean and accessible. He can get dehydrated pretty quickly. You really need to get him to a vet as soon as possible. By the time a rabbit show symptoms of illness, it is very serious. (Rabbit hide their illnesses and injuries because they are prey animals and they don't want to show weakness or in the wild they may end up as someone's dinner.)
Rabbits don't vomit. So what you see is diarrhea. Get him professional help quickly.
