A cold rabbit is not good. Do you have a thermometer to take her temperature?

Hi Varna. What is it like inside her ear. Is it red or anything. It might be something irritating Lucy's ear.

From what I know of rabbits, the ear is therabbits heat vent. If I have this wrong someone tell me, butif they are laying spread out ears up they are warm, if they aresitting around bunched up with ears flat, they are cold.These are usually just comfort warm and comfort cold unless you thinkthe place is way too warm/cold for them. Ear twitching (likedaisynbuster said) sounds like an ear irritation and not a coldthing. Check to see if something is on/in them that might bebothering her.

Hmm, I read on a site that thebesttemperture for a bunny is between 60-70 F (15-21 degrees C).It's 20C in my house right now and I'm frozen but Cookie doesn't seemto mind..

My bunnies live outside and they never shake when it's cold, maybe it could be an infection of something?

 

Hi Varna :
Has anything changed other than turning the heat on >?
sometimes the ear twitch can bea sign of she is hearingsomething and cant quite locateit and has to flickher ears round trying topin point.
If it continues check her forearmites . but I dont think that would be the problem. More the like she is hearing somethingyou can not.

They are cold to the touch. Normally bunnies are quitewarm. Warm ears is a good indication. Once inawhile my bunnies get cooler ears, but they are never cold.
