In the past 4-5 hours I noticed my rabbit has been laying down alot, she sometimes keeps getting up and laying back down again. She isn't wanting to eat any food that I try and give her. She did quite a few poos about an hour ago and they seem normal. She is moving a little and grooming a little sometimes but not much else. Just wondering if I should call the emergency vet? because it's 1am.

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Sorry I have only just seen this
How is your Rabbit now ?
From what you described it sounds as though she has/had some abdominal pain and that may be due to various possible problems. If she is still 'not right' I would definitely take her to a Vet this morning
Please let us know how she gets on

I agree with Jane and Jenova, your bunny needs to see a vet asap if she is still doing this.
I hope she is doing OK.

I'd get her to a vet asap.
I had the same issue with my poor bun last week. I took her straight to the vet and she still didn't make it. She passed away less that two hours after we got home. I don't mean to worry you, just to push the point that by the time buns show any real symptoms of pain it is usually best to see a vet asap as they can go down hill very quickly xxxx
