Answer 1

I have 4 rabbits, I have them on strict diet of green leaf lettuce, nibblets, water and unlimited hay.  I occasionally give them treats, such as a couple of carrots, apple pieces,  or a little banana.  Your bunnies problems are definitely related to their diets.  The more variety you give them of things that are perceived as conventional rabbit food, can cause digestive problems.  

Here is a GREAT bunny care guide, that will answer all of your questions and greatly improve your relationship with your bunnies :).

Answer 2

are they soft pellets that are sticking to her or hard ones.  rabbits should never have soft droppings this means they have diarrhea and that is a major problem for rabbits. you should take her to the vet if it continues or quit feeding her fresh veggies and treats and stick to pellets and hay for a while and if it continues then take her in, if it stops after stopping other foods then moderate what you fed her.  sugary foods are only good in small quantities, apples and carrots are very high in sugar they are good for her but in smaller amounts. dont ever feed her iceburg or romaine lettus that will definatly give her a problem they are too full of water.  the best things to feed her are spinach, herbs (research the best ones), and greens like turnip, collard, etc. the greener the better.  but if you are not seeing a change after modifing her diet then get her to the vet it could be a serious medical problem. animals dont show symptoms of being sick as well as us so you have to watch for them closer.

If the poo and hair around it becomes matted, you'll need to cut them off. Washing it doesn't always work. I had the same problem with my rabbit.
