I just bought a rabbit; its steel-ball bottle leaks and can’t be used, so now I give water in a small plastic bowl, and the stool looks very wet. Is that a problem?
Soft stool can come from diet, chill, poor hygiene, or lacking good bacteria; cut fruit/veg, raise pellets and timothy, keep warm and clean. It may also be coccidia infection needing deworming.
Rabbit didn’t scratch much at first, but later scratched constantly and even spread to me; I got many bumps. Is it the rabbit or me?
Constant scratching in a rabbit may be parasites (lice, mites) or skin disease; treat with deworming or anti-fungal/antibiotic meds. Allergies also possible.

How to Treat Coccidiosis in Rabbits

How is rabbit coccidiosis transmitted?
Rabbit coccidiosis spreads mainly through the feces of sick rabbits, and also through their belongings and soil or lawns contaminated by them. Treat promptly with an anticoccidial drug such as diclazuril solution, and after deworming add probiotics to regulate the gut, since the drug can disturb gut flora.
