It could be the effects of heat that are doing this to Toby. However, I'm slightly concerned he's not eating or passing much faeces, rabbits are prone to a condition called gut stasis where their stomach stops working. It is very dangerous and progresses quickly. To be safe I would have him examined as soon as you can.
