No, it is not normal for pet rabbits to not eat. Rabbits can't safely fast like cats, dogs, humans, and other animals can. A rabbit's digestive system relies on always having food in it. A healthy rabbit eats all day long (mostly hay). If your rabbit isn't eating, that indicates a very serious medical condition called Gastro-Intestinal Stasis (or G.I. Stasis, also known as Ileus), and your rabbit needs to be taken to the vet immediately. Please refer to the related questions below about rabbit illness and vets.
