Why did my pet shiver after being warm and covered by a blanket?

Question

Binky was sleeping in my grandma's lap and my grandma covered her with a shawl. I peeked in the shawl to see if she is uncomfortable but she was sleeping peacefully. Then after a while, when she got up, I took her to my lap, but she started shivering a bit, like shaking her head a little bit with her upper body with eyes partially closed. Her body was also warm. But when I kept her down on my bed, she started to move around, like she always does. Why did this happen? Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered

Binky may have just become overheated and/or uncomfortable when covered up and then, once uncovered, felt better. If these episodes continue, especially if there is no reason she would be overheated, then I would recommend taking her to the vet to be checked out so any underlying neurological issues can be ruled out. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
