My rabbit keeps twitching his nose and shaking his head. Is this normal?

[]

Answer

While rabbits naturally twitch their noses to smell their surroundings, excessive head shaking combined with twitching can be a sign of discomfort or a health issue. This could indicate an ear infection, dental problems, or even an issue with their respiratory system. Unlike dogs and cats, rabbits often mask illness until it's advanced, so any noticeable change in their normal behavior, such as head shaking, warrants attention. It's crucial to consult a vet experienced with rabbits for a proper diagnosis. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
