I would recommend taking your rabbit to the veterinarian to be examined as soon as possible. A rabbit that is not eating is at risk for developing gastric stasis (where the GI tract shuts down) which can be life threatening. Your rabbit may need a feeding supplement, fluids and pain medications to get him back to normal. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
