Is my bunny sick?!! What do I do!?! :( .. UPDATE!!!!!! :D

I think they're closed now though.. Gave him some hay and he's eating it up.. As well as his pellets.. So, I'm slightly comforted by the fact that he's eating at least..
 
Where is he now? Does he normally poop where he is? Just wondering if he's holding it until he gets back to his safe poop area.

I agree with this as my bunny poops lots at a time but not often. If he is eating though and does not poop as he usually does I would really worry about him.
 
His "safe place" is my room.. And I had him there for quite some time and not one poop.. Should I go get some simethicone??

I guess some people on here give that to bunnies for gas but I never have. Do you think that he has gas pain? Hopefully someone more knowable will come along. aai think it is getting pretty late in the UK now. Most people are there.
 
Put him in my room and he pooped some.. It was also after I'd given him some apple, which I've read is good for constipation.. Soo... I'm at a lost now.. But thanks so much to everyone for their help so far.
 
So.. Things I've noticed about Moo.. He does poop.. But in my room.. I don't know if he thinks that's his litter box.. Gave him Simethicone last night and got a lot of poop.. In my room.. In the cage .. His cage was cleaned about three hours ago and it's still cleaned.. I'm unsure of what to do now.. :s .. Do I give him some more Simethicone today?? Do I stick with apples?? I also bought some fresh pumpkin, but I don't know how to use it.. Raw, cooked??
 
Just as an update.. He is def pooping normally now.. Thank god!! I try to get him out every day for a run in the yard.. I also always pick fresh grass and wash it for him so that there is always grass in his cage..I also reduced the number of pellets he gets greatly.. AND I got some of the Gerber baby food in Squash, but he doesn't eat much.. So, that was a waste.. And I treated him with Simethicone as well.. So far, everything is back to normal.. And I am SO happy and excited that he is back to my normal bunny!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped and gave me such great advice!!

He's also growing so much!!
