Answer
Dear Mike,

Changes in the environment can affect a rabbit's stress levels and ability to fight off illness.  Any time a rabbit acts inappetent or lethargic, it's time to get him to a good rabbit vet ASAP:

The internet is *not* the best place to find help, since there will invariably be a delay!  Get the bunny to a good rabbit vet for immediate help if he's not acting well, just as you would get your own self to a doctor if you were sick.

While waiting to get him to the vet (don't take no for an answer; tell them it's an emergency!), please read:

and

If he stops eating and stops producing poop, please read:

I hope this helps.
