Dose he have any wood, paper towel rolls or toys to chew on? His teeth could be too long and he might not be able to eat right so he has to find a way to take them down and has resulted in grinding his teeth.

I tend to agree with the above 2 posts, maybe your bunny's teeth are too long?
While I don't have any experience with bunnies, I did own guinea pigs for 10 years and I know they both have the same type of teeth. The teeth keep growing and they have to keep them worn down by chewing on things (like wood). If they are too long a vet should be able to clip or file them down or something, I'm not sure on that as my guinea pigs never had that particular problem because they always had lots of things to chew on.

Definitely check his teeth, maybe you could send a pic of his teeth, also, has he done this all his life, because he could have deformed back teeth. (You can't see them)
Also, rabbits eat their own poo to get vitamins they need, did you check his butt to see if that was bleeding or sore. Also check his genitals. They lick those as well. Since he is a boy you will have to get his penis to stick out. You can do this by pressing a certain point near the bottom of his genitals. It should be a light pink colour.
I know that probably is not the case, by i thought i would offer up the suggestion anyway. But you really should get him to the vet.
Hope i helped.

Yes I agree as well. It sounds like his teeth are too long, perhaps he has a sore in his mouth as well. Please check with the vet, they might have to file those choppers down. I get boxes from the wholesale club for my bunnies to chew on. They also really love willow tree branches. Some tree brances are poisen, best place to check is on the House Rabbit Society web page. My two chew all the time on those boxes. I get new ones every week when shopping. They really love this special box from the store, it's thinner then most boxes and they go to town on them. Good luck. Keep us posted we all love bunnies here.
Taking it to the vet is definitely the best solution.
