If it doesn't eat or drink anything by tomorrow I would take it to a vet for a check up. While you are there you should make an appt to get fixed.

My daughter owns three rabbits and every one of them when we brought them home stopped eating. The vet told us to make sure it was drinking but not worry if it was'nt eating. The rabbit will start to eat on it's own when it feels safe. It's a new home with new sounds and smells. Let the rabbit have some time to itself with out your daughter and other children hanging out at the cage. The more time you give it with peace the faster the rabbit will come around and want attention. Just make sure you give it fresh water and food daily and throw acouple of carrots in the cage and then let the rabbit be.

bunnys need a little time to settle in. not eating for a few days is quite normal. check to make sure he/she is going potty and try covering at least part of the cage or place a box in it to give the bunny a hide spot. they will feel less threatened that way where it can then feel secure, relax and eat in a bit of privacy. they settle in better when they can "control" the amount of time some one stares at them.

It's probably just a little shook up from the relocation. Usually when an animal is healthy, it will eat when it gets hungry. Perhaps this site might help you:

Rabbits don't eat alot, but try giving it some fresh vegetables like carrots and lettuce or fresh greens that should bring her around. She might be constipated.

Try putting some veggies or clovers, etc. where it stays and check back later to see if it is gone?
