Alfalfa is very different from normal hay, much richer and much higher in fats and proteins.
Your bunny could be in GI stasis, or having a bad reaction to the high sugar/fat content in the alfalfa. You should give plenty of gentle tummy massages, lots of water... and get your rabbit to the vets ASAP
