Why isn't my baby rabbit peeing? He's very young and eyes closed.

I have a baby rabbit with his eyes still closed, I’m guessing around 6-8 days old, and whenever I urinate him he doesn’t pee.

I am very sorry to hear about Pineapple. He could be having lack of urination due to dehydration. Baby rabbits are notoriously difficult to rehabilitate and I would strongly advise contacting a local licensed wildlife rehabilitator to take this bunny for his best chance of survival! You can look at http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/find-a-wildlife-rehabilitator.html to try to find one near you.
