Soft poos are usually diet related and are often due to a sensitivity to a specific fruit or vegetable, or too many fruits and/or vegetables in their diet.
Bunnies can have, and can develop sensitivities to most anything at all as they age. Our Rosie could no longer have any fruits or vegetables of any kind in her elder years, and we also had to change her pellets to stop it. The only treat she could tolerate was plain oats (not the flavored kind with added sugar).
Too many pellets can also cause this. Bunnies really only need about an 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup or so per day, depending on weight.
I’d stop all fruits/veggies/treats and reduce pellets to 1/8 cup (or up to 1/4 for a larger breed) per day. Still give unlimited hay.
If it continues, I’d consider changing her pellets. If you do change pellets, do it gradually over a week or so, slowly adding a little more of the new kind into the mix.
If you get this under control, you can reintroduce treats in small amounts 1 at a time to see how she reacts. If one causes a soft poo, don’t give that anymore.
