Poorly bunny opinions

My 4 yr old neutered male bunny is unwell. He seemed a little “not himself” this morning while I was cleaning the cage, but he was eating and moving around a bit (not as much as usual though). I put him in the indoor run to be sure at lunchtime. (They have a double decker hutch inside a greenhouse full of straw, which is in the shade and provides them lots of indoor play space in bad weather. They also have a 8’ square outdoor run). This evening when I went to put them in he was in a corner of the outdoor run sitting in the mud with his hind legs stretched out. He didn’t run into the indoor run like he normally does. I carried him in, he felt cold and was wobbly on his hind legs, but could move. He felt cold. We’ve put him in a deep straw bed, added heat pads. His mate is sitting with him. Our vets are being awful- I wanted to chat with a vet to see if it merited bringing him in or whether we should warm him up and see how he is in the morning. The receptionist said no vet was available to talk, but we could book an emergency out of hours appointment if we wanted. I’m not sure it’s an emergency yet. He’s still the same now, although warming up a bit. But won’t eat, and he’s usually a greedy rabbit. Any opinions or experience of similar?

Wow! I want expecting that update! Fabulous news and hope he is continuing to improve!

And here's a Brew for you op as it's awful when pets are ill.

Just a little update. He seems to be doing ok. He’s very mobile, upright, eating, drinking, peeing loads. Doesn’t seem to be soiling himself but still peeing loads. He’s still in the large dog crate so hasn’t a massive area. His companion is next to him in a run. She’s not impressed to be inside but at least it will help towards them staying bonded.
I’m waiting for the vet to get back to me with test results. I think the bunnies are going to have to go into a spare stable with a radiator when they’re allowed to mix and have more room. Being inside will have messed up their coats.
