What you're describing isn't normal behaviour. Maybe the rabbit is sick, or extremely bored (which will lead to illness eventually). Healthy rabbits move around all the time, unless they're sleeping. If this is a pet rabbit, you should bring him to a vet for a thorough physical exam. You should also provide a stimulating habitat for your bunny. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

Where do rabbits go in winter?
At the end of summer/begin autumn, rabbits usually store some extra food in their burrows. In winter, they spend most of the day safely underground, sleeping a lot although they do not hibernate. During sunnier and drier days, the rabbits come out and feed. But when there's a lot of snow, they prefer to stay indoors. However, if they're hungry, they need to get out to feed. Luckily, their fur is well suited for the winter. Some rabbits are even known to store food in their burrow, even during winter. They rarely come out, only during sunny, dry days. But that is very exceptional, extremely rare behaviour.

How do rabbits feed if burrow is covered?
From what I understand, wild rabbits give birth to their babies in nest stops -- small underground burrows. The rabbit may completely close-off the burrow for most of the day, and dig in and out to feed the babies twice a day or so. When you find baby rabbits or hares outdoors, it's usually best to leave them alone, even if you can't see a parent around (they're probably just out getting food or hiding from you).

What time of day do bunnies come out?
Usually at night or early in the morning around dawn. There is a theory that if you breed a doe at night she will have them at night and if you breed her at noon she will have them during the day. I don't think that is right. my experience is that they have them when they have them and most likely it will be at dawn when it is quiet and they feel safest.
