I have a house rabbit that is not his usual self. I can't say I could pinpoint something that is wrong. He is just quieter than normal and not eating as much

Carefully check his teeth to see if they are overgrown or misaligned. If his front teeth are fine, have him examined by your veterinarian to check his cheek teeth. These teeth need regular trimming to prevent sharp points from developing. These points can cause discomfort and may affect appetite.
