It sounds like it could be gas. At least our bunnies usually lay flat like that when they have gas. Its good to get him to move around, as it can help it work through his tummy.

Is he eating ok? Thats also usually another sign if he is not.

Do you have simethicone drops on hand? You can find them in the baby section of most grocery/department stores and they are safe for buns. They usually work wonders for gas.

All that being said, if he has had this behavior before, he could possibly just be nervous with the new furnace sounds. 🙂 Buns tend to lay in their litter box more when nervous/unwell because their smell is comforting to them.

But definitely monitor his food intake/poop output right now to watch for any signs of gas that could be going on inside. 🙂
