Every year Goodreads.com has their annual reading challenge. You set your own goal for how many books you want to read for the year. This year I have set my goal at 60. I have already finished the first book, The Golden Evenings Of Summer, by Will Stanton and I have now started on number two...
I am pretty sure that I read somewhere that coconut oil is not safe for rabbits. I am not sure about olive oil, and I definitely would not give a rabbit hairball medication that is formulated for a cat. Sunflower oil is safe. Worst case scenario and you can't get sunflower oil, I would say...
I have had two or three rex over the years, and every single one of them was a very easy keeper... It's like they can gain weight on air. Their velvety coats highlight and accentuate their jelly rolls too! The one I have right now is no exception.

Is there any chance he might have ate something of an inorganic nature while hopping around the house? Carpet, a bit of a plastic bag, a cigarette butt, anything like that?
Please let us know what you find out.
In the meantime you might try putting a little sunflower oil on some oats or pellets or whatever you can get him to eat. If he has some kind of blockage it might help loosen it up.
Try offering him some rolled oats. Just plain, old fashioned oatmeal, not the instant quick cook kind. Let us know how he reacts to those.
I'd expect his belly to be bloated if it were GI stasis.
Does he still groom himself as normal? What behavior changes have you noticed the most? Can you...
