Answer 1

Have you been giving your rabbits treats or does the area you have been letting your rabbit run in have grass in it that the rabbit can eat? If so, that could be diarrhea that has caked up on the fur. Use an old cloth soaked in warm water then wrung out to soften the manure and wipe it off. Then dry your rabbit thoroughly. If the rabbit is stained, you may want to repeat with an old rag soaked in white vinegar, then again with an old rag soaked in warm water then dry.

As far as the diarrhea, quit feeding the snacks if you are feeding them and stick to just the pellets and water. Or if the rabbit is running around in a grassy area quit letting the rabbit run around in an area where it can eat the grass. Be careful about letting a rabbit run around indoors. You don't want your rabbit chewing a live electric chord.

You may want to take the rabbit to a vet. If the rabbit has diarrhea to the point where it has built up into a ball then the rabbit may have a serious bout of diarrhea. A mild case of diarrhea (if not caused by coccidiosis) can usually be treated by changing the diet. However, if you have a somewhat serious case of diarrhea, medication to combat the diarrhea would be highly recommended.

A little big of gooey poop? If so this is normal.. except the part where it got stuck to him. Here is a source that says it better then me... HOWEVER this says the night dropping are normally green.. but I've never seen green ones.. only black.
------------------------------
Healthy rabbits produce two different types of waste. One is the normal hard, dry round droppings, and the other is soft, green, and resemble clumps of grapes. This second type of dropping is referred to as night droppings. They are very important for proper health.

These special droppings are softer, greener, and have a stronger odor than the normal hard, dry, round waste droppings. They come directly from the cecum, which is the part of the digestive system where fermentation of food takes place.

Your rabbit knows when these droppings are being produced and will take care of eating them himself. After eating these "vitamin pellets your pet will re-digest the material and extract all the necessary nutrients. This habit may appear distasteful to us, but it is normal and important for your rabbit. In fact, in this way the rabbit can survive in the wild on food that other animals might not be able to survive on because they could not digest it. The rabbit actually does an excellent job producing its own nutritional supplements within its body.

Occasionally a rabbit will drop these cecal pellets along with the waste pellets instead of eating them. Some rabbits that are so overweight that they can't reach their anal area to eat the night droppings, may leave a lot of these special droppings in the cage. A diet that is low in fiber or high in starches may also lead to a chronic and persistent production of night droppings that are too soft and liquidy to be eaten and thus are left in little puddles around the environment mixed with normal waste stools. This is not diarrhea, and if it only occurs occasionally, it is not considered a problem.

Answer 3

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are seven different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with cottontails, pikas, and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. Rabbits generally live between four and twenty years.
