First time with PETG. Is this calibration, wetness or something else?

Been using prusaslicers default PLA profile with issues and this is my first roll of PETG, so I just selected the corresponding profile for that.
It seems so be super stringy whenever there’s movement and when printing the bunny (in vase mode) there’s lots of holes in the model.
I’m not sure if this is an issue with calibration (didn’t do anything when switching from PLA) or if the filament is wet.

You sure you are using the PETG preset? The only time my PETG prints have looked like that is if I accidentally use the PLA preset and it under-extrudes because the temperatures aren't high enough.
That's literally the first thing I thought of as well. A few times that I've mistakenly tried printing with a PLA profile while PETG was in the printer. Doesn't get hot enough and really struggles to push the material through (for obvious reasons).
This could be it, OP should check what the actual temperature says on the screen during printing.
Yup, looks like way too low temps for me as well.
