First time Rabbit Owner...?

I got a Long eared Rabbit today and after feeding him and Letting him run all over the place, he has become very shaky . I know that its somewhat normal, but he´s been doing that for at least 10-15 min. what could that mean? Please help, first time Rabbit Owner.

Thanks...

    What do you mean by shaking. If it is a violent shaking like a seizure, then he could have epilepsy induced by a plant he ate or just as a medical condition. If it is just his feet shaking, I've found it's just a common trait of lop rabbits (I don't know why but it's only been in lop rabbits I've had that they did this) but it is totally safe. You should re-assess if you really think that this is something dangerous or not and call someone who is knowledgeable about rabbits. If you can find a breeder in your area, they can help you diagnose the problem without huge vet bills and they are able to help the rabbits more than most vets because there are very few vets that are specially trained for rabbits.
