Keep the new rabbits isolated from the others. Care for them after your own herd and then wash well and change your clothes and shoes.
It is likely a combination of stress from the move and the change of diet. Take out the pellets and give them grass hay and kitchen oatmeal (like Quaker Old-Fashioned, Large-flake Oatmeal). If you can find the leaves of raspberry, strawberry or blackberry and/or the lawn weeds plantain and shepherd's purse, they will help firm up their stools. They are all very safe.
A water crock instead of a bottle is a good idea--they will drink more. Some rabbits have trouble with water bottles, especially at first.

Hope this helps. And do let us know how the new buns are doing. :good-luck:
