I'm not sure why Bunty was drinking his own blood, but it could be that the blood is upsetting his stomach. If he suffered from blood loss due to an injury, that could also cause him to not eat or drink. I would have him seen by a vet immediately, and the vet can diagnose what is causing him to not eat and drink and can treat him for it.
