Rabbits are considered endotherms, which means that they use internal activities to generate energy/heat, and are considered homeotherms, which means that they maintain a stable internal body temperature even in varying external temperatures. Rabbits have more mitochondria in a cell than cold-blooded animals do. The mitochondria take fats and sugars, acquired through eating, and convert them to ATP, animals' greatest energy source. Thus, they use their metabolism to produce energy/heat to maintain a stable internal body temperature even in colder times. Also, rabbits are protected by layers of fat, by skin, and by fur. These prevent energy/heat from escaping their bodies, an example of their homeothermy.

Just like you and any mammal. They burn more fuel to generate more heat. To cool they may have to pant to exchange heat with the atmosphere. you sweat to slough off heat.
