My rabbits have the shakes?

[B3NZ0]

For some reason every now and again my rabbits shake, like they may be cold but, it's to hot for that here. Is this common? Should I be worried?

Is it like a binky?

 

[B3NZ0]

No more like cold shivering.

Are they Lionheads?

 

[B3NZ0]

No . Checkered giant, new Zealand, rex and California meat mutts

Mine do something like what you describe when it's hot even with fans running.
If it gets to 80degs in their area and it is climbing, I put in the frozen 2L bottles of water.
What do you do to cool them down?

 

[B3NZ0]

To keep them cool I have supplied them with shade. On real hot days I give them cold veggies, and ice cubes in their water bottles.

Rapid breathing like they are panting, yes, that would make sense. I 've seen plenty of rabbits tremble when they were being held, too . Could either of those be what you are seeing?

 

[B3NZ0]

Could be rapid breathing. They seldom do much whenever they tremble.
