The common causes of shaking are fear, nervousness, and stress. A less obvious cause of trembling is heat, as rabbits do not tolerate high temperatures well. If your rabbit is lying on its side and shaking, it could be due to a digestive issue (GI stasis). Also, it may have ingested something toxic.
Is it normal for rabbit to shake?
It's normal for rabbits to tremble occasionally, especially during sleep. Also, rabbits ripple their fur when they are excited. However, if a rabbit lays down and shakes, this is often a sign of illness. Parasites, heatstroke, ear infections, or food poisoning could be to blame.
