It is probably diet-related, what does your rabbit eat? Can you send a picture of what his poops normally look like, and what they looked like today?
My boy eat only pellets.My wet suggest it should be only pellets good for my boy before 5 months.10 minutes ago he eat bad and dry leaf in my room just little bites.When I found he already eat it.Is it bad?
Will he get sick? Sorry Im new about rabbits I'm wondering.
Here is a poops now. I don't have a photo normally one but its look like same color and it is round.

He needs unlimited grass hay (timothy, orchard, Bermuda, meadow, oat)! That should be the bulk of a rabbits diet. Baby rabbits from the age of 0-4 months should have unlimited pellets, but after that adult rabbits should only get 1/4 cup of pellets per every 5 lbs of body weight.

Oh I don't know this I will put unlimited hay. Do you think this poops are normal? Any bad things about eating dry leafs?
Also thanks a lot for your suggests.
What plant was it he ate?
Poos look fine just as Mariam said you need to feed unlimited hay. Rabbit diet is about 80% hay and only 5% dry pellets, seller probably meant that pellets they gave you you should feed until your rabbit is 5 months old, then you will have to switch him to adult pellets. But hay is their main food all the time.
In your photo poos look a bit too dark maybe because your rabbit didn't have any hay, if he eats lots of hay his poos will look more healthy.
What food you feed him can you post a photo of bag with ingredients and name on the bag?
Also, when you buy hay make sure it is not alfalfa hay. Any grass hay will be good, timothy hay, meadow hay, orchard hay are most popular.
What your rabbit eats apart of his dry food pellets? Not all vegetables suit.
How long you have him?
I don't know what plant is but its might be Mimosa pudica
I immediately buy hay.
I only give pellets like this.
I never give anything expect pellets.
like 3 weeks.

It looks to me like your rabbit could possibly have pinworms. They will appear to be translucent thread like worms. In your photo it looks like there may be some on the poop.
If your rabbit does have pinworms then this is likely the cause of the odd poop. Pinworms in rabbits is usually treated with the antiparasitic fenbendazole. I'm not sure what is available in your country, but if you have Panacur for rabbits that's what I would use to treat it. Or if you have a good rabbit vet you should be able to get the right medication from them.
Take a look at the pictures in the link below to see if the pinworms look like what's in your rabbits poop. You will need to check the poop within 5 minutes of your rabbit expelling it, as the pinworms can dry up quickly and then you may not be able to see them.

Where did you buy these pellets, do you still have a bag, what information is on it? There should be listed all ingredients and how much protein, fibre, calcium etc, since your rabbit is still 2 months old he needs pellets with high protein and calcium percentage, when he will be 5 months he will need different pellets.
How much you give him per day?
Oh I check it when my bunn poop.Thanks a lot. If it is pinworms I used Panacur without wet helping?
The pellets look like they have grain in them
I buy it pet shop in Kiev but there is no brand on this and any information. Do you suggest any pellets? I give unlimited then my boy eat it whenever he want.
I'm not in home but when I go to home I will check photo. Now I like to say his place is big and cool.
He is indoor rabbit. I buy it from Kiev. It is Holland Lop

I don't know what brands are available in your country, usually all information is on package.
Most important that fibre is 19% or more, for junior rabbit like yours protein 18%. Pellets shouldn't contain any grain or musli type pieces. It is impossible to tell good or not just from your photo. But he needs hay anyway, so when you get hay his poos should improve within a couple days.
I don't see any worms in your photo, if it's 2 months old baby raised at home indoors in clean home and was fed good food not scraps from waste bin, there shouldn't be any parasites in his poo. Also please don't experiment with giving a baby rabbit horse medicine, especially without vets prescription, you can easily kill him. If you think he has parasites go to vet.

Oh thanks.Also, I will play him like 6-7 hours everyday but when I put him his place, he like act 'hey where are u going cmon play with me:' İs he depressed? When I play with him he like verry happy. He run all home and jumps everywhere.I watch him every seconds because he will eat something badly.
Great if you could post more photo, did you buy him from a pet shop or from market or from private breeder? It is hard to say from your photo but by his fur he doesn't look like holland lop to me, more like lionhead maybe mix with lop if he has lop ears. Holland lops have smooth and glossy coats, here is how baby holland lops would normally look, their fur is shorter as you can see. But maybe it's just your photo is not very clear maybe when you post more photo he is indeed what you say

There are what appear to be small transparent flecks on the poop which could be pinworms. It would also account for the odd shaped poop. No hay in the diet and a low quality pellet aren't going to cause odd shaped poop like that, whereas intestinal parasites most certainly could.
And I didn’t suggest using horse medicine. Panacur for rabbits is specifically made to give to rabbits, not horses. And deworming pets is a common thing that can be done by pet owners without the supervision of a vet if the person is comfortable doing it. Not to mention it may be necessary as this owner may not have access to an experienced rabbit vet in their country.
@cedric it's up to you what to decide to do. This is panacur for rabbits.

If you have a knowledgeable rabbit vet to go to, they could do a fecal poop test to check for parasites if you want, though if you actually see active pinworms in the poop then a fecal test isn't necessary. The vet should also be able to provide you with the proper antiparasitic.
