I just noticed this when I came over by my bun for our usual nighttime routine and noticed she wasn’t interested in any treats. She took a few bites of a digestive cookie and forage. She doesn’t appear hunched, and her stomach doesn’t appear or feel bloated/hard. She’s still hoping around, but maybe she’s stressed. There are fireworks going off but they didn’t seem to affect her last year.

Please any advice on what could be wrong?
 
Here’s a photo of her currently in her littler box. :/

It could be the fireworks. If she doesn't return to normal eating and behavior by morning, I would suggest getting her checked by a knowledgeable rabbit vet. It's considered an emergency if a rabbit has stopped eating (or barely eating) for more than 12-24 hours. Or if her condition starts to worsen tonight or you're concerned she's not doing well, I would get her seen tonight if a rabbit knowledgeable 24 hour vet is available.

How's bunny? What's her posture look like when she sits?

Thank you! She seems okay today and the stray cookies from last night were gone this morning. If it was fireworks I’m hoping she stays okay tonight.
 
How's she doing today?
Luckily she seems okay! She ate all her dinner and the stray treats were gone! Assuming Stormy snatched them in the night. She may have been stressed or had a slight tummy ache. She’s always had a rather sensitive tummy.

She even posed for a little photo. (She wasn’t impressed.)

She’s okay! She seems to be sitting normally. This was her just a few minutes ago. I always tend to get overly stressed over any slight change. I was really scared she might have been sick or had GI stasis.
