I am so sorry to hear about Rambo. I would be concerned he is shivering and not eating due to pain or discomfort. We would be worried about a possible broken bone, an abscess or wound causing swelling, cellulitis, edema, and more. Your bunny needs to go to a vet for an examination. They will palpate his leg and may recommend an x-ray if they feel a broken bone is possible.
