I just noticed my bunny tends to grind his teeth while pooping, and his eyes are also half closed; looks like he's sleepy or something. Other than that, he seems quite energetic and normal, I was wondering if anyone else experiences this with their bunny? Should I bring him to the vet? Thanks!

Are his poos normal in size, texture and quantity ?
Is his urine looking 'creamy'
The only way to ascertain if there is a problem or not is to have him examined.
There are different types of 'tooth grinding' and they indicate different things. Without actually hearing them its impossible for us to give you a definitive answer.
If you remain concerned I would take him to your Vet for a check up
