Poor Fluffy ! Yes, he needs to see a vet, I would not worry if they are not exotics specialist, all small animal vets are quite familiar with these GI problems in rabbits so I would phone and make an appointment to have Fluffy checked over ASAP. Being young makes him more vulnerable so whilst it is a good sign that Fluffy is eating, the abscence of feaces is a concern that needs immediate attention. Hope he gets better soon !
