My first thought is that the rabbit is panting, not actually shaking. Rabbits cannot withstand serious heat and can suffer and even have a heat stroke and die from being too hot for too long. They also MUST have ventilation. Do not allow your rabbit to be in direct sunlight, either. Also note where he is holding his ears. If they are upright, he is alert and using them to regulate his body temperature. If they are laid back, he is either tense or not feeling very well.

Turn a fan on your rabbit in warm weather, and also take a plastic pop bottle, take the label off, fill it 3/4 with water, put the cap back on tightly, and freeze it overnight. Keep enough frozen water bottles so you can rotate them, always replacing the thawed ones with new frozen bottles. These act as a form of "air conditioning" for your rabbit.

However, if your rabbit really is shaking, then he is probably very cold. He needs shelter from very cold weather. If it is not cold outside and he is shaking, he may have a fever due to some form of infection. Call the veterinarian.

Another reason a rabbit may be panting is due to stress. Rabbits do not like loud noise, rowdy children, other pets, smoke, or being handled too much or played with too rough. Too much stress can wear him out, stress him out and in a short time do him in.

NEVER turn a fan directly on to a rabbit, blowing under his cage or above his cage to circulate air is much better.Direct drafts can give rabbits a cold even in the summer. Rabbits can be cooled quickly by wetting their ears. Frozen bottles are an excellent idea. If the rabbit is shaking their head they may have ear mites. Check ears and use cat ear mite medication if mites are detected.

Shaking how. He could be hot or scared or if he is shaking and kind of moving in circles and his neck is bent up wards it could be a disorder called rye neck.
