If a rabbit twitches it can mean several things, such as:

  • Got an itch
  • Another animal such as a dog or cat
  • The rabbit may be cold (under 40F/5C is too cold for a rabbit; even 50F/10C could be too cold if the rabbit doesn't have a dry shelter out of the wind with bedding to snuggle into)
  • If the rabbit is asleep, it's probably just dreaming
  • Could have parasites or another skin problem
  • Could be a seizure

If the rabbit carries on twitching, take it to the vet just to be on the safe side.

Ongoing twitching is not normal and a sure sign that something is wrong. Look for other signs of ill-health in your rabbit (see related question below about rabbit sickness), and bring him/her to a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits, because not all vets know about rabbits but they are very different from cats and dogs and require some unique treatments. (See the related question below about rabbit vets).

It depends because it may be a birth effect. If you think it is serious it actually may be. Take it to a veterinarian if you think it is serious
