i would not recommend that, i would limit any greens you give him and make sure he has plenty of hay or alfalfa. hay is better but in this case which ever he will eat works. if it continues, i would take him to the vet.
here are some site that might help.

Not really any point. I assume you mean yoghurt for it's pro-biotic qualities - you can get better, safer stuff from your vet.
However, first try to correct the rabbit's diet. Most digestive problems in a bunny are caused by incorrect diet. Firstly, don't give any more fruit and veg until the diarrhoea has cleared up. Too much fruit/veg, or the wrong sort, causes diarrhoea. So, no soft fruit (strawberries, grapes etc) in future, no iceberg lettuce or carrot tops either. Here's a list of suitable fruit and veg:
http://www.rabbit.org/care/veggies.html
A suitable diet for rabbits is 75% hay, and proper rabbit pellets (not mix, if they pick and choose which bits to eat they don't get all their nutrients. A mix of pellets and mix can be OK). This should result in a healthy bunny digestive system.
Just to check - is your bunny passing any normal pellets? Be aware that rabbits do pass some squishy poos - this is the stuff they eat, to absorb remaining nutrients, before passing out the normal hard pellets that dry out quickly.

I am not sure why gawdo suggested staying away from the Hay when it is the best treatment for diarrhea.Rabbits are very sensitive to high mosture diets,pellets ,alphalph cubes, AND hay are your best options, when feeding fresh vegetables avoid those high in water such as Head lettuce and celery, stick to carrots and loose leaf lettuce. Although they will eat yogurt it is high in water and Dairy is a nono for diarrhea in most species including rabbits and humans

There is a medicine that the vet can give you that does contain yogurt. diarrhea in rabbits can be very serious.

I would temporarily limit any greens you may be giving him, but I don't think they do dairy. Carrots used to give my bunny the runs, so they need to be given in small amounts. Maybe cool it on the water bottle, but not for too long, you wouldn't want the little critter getting dehydrated. Cool it on the hay type alfalfa and just use pellets.

No, yogurt is not good for bunnies. See this:

If your bunny has diarrhea it can be serious and is often the result of too much starchy food and too litte fiber.

Yes, you can, but you need to find out why it has diarrhea. They seem to like strawberry best. Taking it to the vet can help solve that.

No the sugar in it will make it worse. You have to go to a vet as this is very serious. http://www.rabbit.org
