It sounds like a cecotrope which isnormal. I am including a link that has a lot of good information on thesubsject of poops. Hope it helps.http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare//poop.html
Congratulations on your new bunny. There is a really awesomepost called the Rabbit Cheat sheet at the top of the board. It has someof the best information you will find. It has helped so many of us. Ithink you will find it useful too.

You are welcome. Rest assured it isperfectly normal. They would only be a problem if all the poops werececotropes or you see no poops at all. Usually you won't see but a fewceotropes since they eat them right away. Apollo will leave one or twoonce in awhile. I am glad you asked. That's how we all learn.

HI WILLIE
WELLCOME FROM ME
I FOUND THAT WHEN WE GOT LUCY our rabbit her poops were more flatter
but i put that down to the pet store mix she was on
absolutely rubbish
so we changed her to a pelleted food
burgess excel for juniors and dwarf rabbits
and her poops are fine now
if you are thinking of changing her food do it gradually as if its done straight away you could cause her tummy problems
