According to textbook of rabbit med, normal rectal temp range is : 103.3 – 104F (38.5-40C) 100.4F (38C) is subnormal, 105F (40.6C) is high.
Also mentions rectal temp of females slightly higher then males. Doesn’t specify if this is in intact females or not.

Temps of 101-102F aren’t really mentioned but it does say there are variations due to environment and seasons. I suppose some rabbits might be naturally more cool bodies then others i.e.around 101-102F. At 103.5, Ms Rabbit was in normal range. I agree, at 100.2F she was under normal.
