I have a rabbit that is due in about 10 days. she has been sat in the same place all day (where she goes the toilet) and she has her eyes closed (which look a bit dry when she finally opens them. She is usually very active, I think she may be constipated is there anything I can give her? I think a visit to the vet will be on the cards! Any ideas??

Hmmm, don't like the sound of those symptoms. Could be a mucoid enteritis - a blockage of the guts. If this doesn't resolve, the animal will starve to death.
Remove all feed and offer grass hay only, all-you-can-eat, for 2-3 days. Plus water 24/7. And yeah, make that vet appointment, STAT.
Good luck.
