Whatever is the cause of it, these signs are quite severe in rabbits and should be a reason for an immediate check up. Inappetence can always lead to acute deterioration of clinical condition especially if gastrointestinal motion is slower than normal and feces are not produced. The fact that there is lethargy is even more dangerous and pain could be present as well.
