My rabbit's nose and ears feel cold in winter. Is this a sign of hypothermia?

[]

Answer

Rabbits are sensitive to cold, and if their extremities feel noticeably cold, it could indeed indicate that they are getting too cold. Ensure your rabbit has a draft-free enclosure, plenty of nesting material like hay or straw, and a cover for colder nights. If your rabbit is lethargic, shivering, or huddling, it's essential to warm them up gently and seek veterinary advice. Hypothermia is serious for rabbits. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
