ginuea pigs heart rates are much faster than ours. your ginuea pig will be breathing faster that usual if they have been running or doing physical activity, just like us. but if it is still, you should probbably call the vet.

if your rabbit is breathing faster than usauly it is most likely too hot! you can tell a rabbits body temp. by their ears. to cool them down you should put a frozen water bottle in their cage for them to lay by.

Rabbits do not sweat and they do not pant to cool themselves. (if they are panting they are over heated) Remember they have on a fur coat that they can't remove. The frozen water bottle in their cage will do the trick also hanging a wet curtain (or towel) on their cage will cool them off as the air passes thru it. If your rabbit is panting hard you can aide in a faster cool down by wetting their ears with a wet wash cloth. The large veins in their ears are how a rabbit regulates it's temperature. NEVER aim a fan or air conditioning at a rabbit, the direct draft is not good and could cause respiratory problems.

Because their lungs are so small, and usually they do so much running around and get a bit puffed.

Do sick rabbits like to be left alone or held?

Depends really... just because if you rabbit doesn't like to be held doesn't mean that it is sick. It mainly depends on the behavior of the rabbit. In some cases if you have a sweet loving rabbit then it becomes really agressive two things could happen 1. It's pregnant or 2. It may be sick from an infection or something. iF your once sweet rabbit turns mean and nasty.. I'd look it over and if you feel lumps take it to the vet IMMEDIANTLY because rabbits can go downhill VERY fast once its too late.....its' too late.
