Was it warm outside? If so this is a symtom of overheating.

You should get your rabbit in a cool area at once.

Once you're in a cool area,
you can get an oscillating fan and put it on low-medium, take a cool wet washcloth and place it on his ears, offer him water in a bowl,
you can also take some frozen water bottles (pop or soda bottles and freeze them), wrap them in a towel and place them near him or in front of the fan so the air that blows on him is cool.

be sure to do this if you think he is over heated and then post back and let us know how he is.

Did you smell the green stuff? I would. Then you could tell if it's just food. Of course it could be something more serious like angieluv mentioned. I really suggest smelling it if she doesn't appear to be suffering from heat stress.

Well it wasnt really that hot at all.

I tried to smell it but it was in a funny place and didnt really smell of anything anyway....
