My rabbit has bladder sludge but seems fine. Is it an emergency?

Question

My rabbit has bladder sludge and the vet doesn't open until the morning. He's eating fine and doesn't seem to be acting any differently but I don't know if I need to take him to emergency or not. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 2 months old

This can definitely wait until the morning, bladder sludge is more of a chronic condition and it takes time to become a real problem. Merlin will need to get treatment though, and change in his diet too (less pellets/hay and more fresh veggies). He will probably also need an xray done to make sure no stones have formed in the bladder.
