    Give him a butt bath.

    This page tells you how to do it safely:

    What that mess is probably cecotropes, these soft droppings that rabbits need to eat to complete their digestion. You might try feeding your rabbit only timothy or grass hay an veggies, no pellets to make sure he's getting enough fiber which often causes sticky soft cecotropes.
