My rabbit isn't eating. Are chickens teasing him and causing stress?

Peter doesn't eat a lot of his food. Is it because he lives with chickens in the same hut? They tease him sometimes.

Peter really should live in a separate location especially if the chickens pick on him. If there is any way you can separate him that would be best. A rabbit's diet should be mostly hay so be sure you are feeding him correctly. ( https://rabbit.org/faq-diet/ )
