Rabbits are susceptible to cold, especially in extreme winter conditions if not adequately sheltered. While their extremities might naturally feel cooler due to circulation, sustained cold ears, nose, or feet, combined with shivering, lethargy, or reluctance to move, could indicate hypothermia. Ensure your rabbit has a well-insulated hutch or enclosure that protects from drafts, wind, and dampness. Provide plenty of extra warm bedding, like straw or hay, for burrowing. If you notice signs of hypothermia or your rabbit seems unwell, bring them indoors to warm up gradually and consult a vet. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
