        Hello!

               I am kind of nervous, and I just need some more information. I have a 4 year old mini velveteen rex named Becka. She has a 2ft by 6ft closet that has her litter box/ toys/ food that she goes in at night and when I am not home. Today I have been home all day working and so she has been out. She ate (and begged) normally for breakfast/hay/dinner. However, it is late tonight and she is sitting next to me on the floor and all the sudden she just grunted. 

        Now, I know that bunnies grunt. She does all the time when I go to feed her or brush her when she just wants to be left alone. And so, I know the “normal grunting” but this was abnormal. She sounded almost like she was trying to cough or had something in her throat. She only did it twice within 3 seconds then I jumped on here to ask you all!  

        I just picked her up about 5 minutes before it happened and I usually don’t. I pick her up about 3 times a week give or take a few. But she’s never made that sound ever. I thought that maybe I just upset her stomach by moving her. What do you all think? Was it a burp? lol

        Again, nothing abnormal has happen, nothing new, nothing changed. Now she is bathing herself so it doesn’t seem like she was choking or anything serious. I just wondered what that was and if anyone has seen that before. Maybe I’m just being an overprotective mom… 

        Thank you all for reading, and potential response. I appreciate being apart of this online community, and having support when I need it!  Have a great night, or morning, wherever you’re reading this from.

          Sounds like maybe she had an air bubble in her tummy or something if she is acting normal now she is provably jusy fine. My bunnies tummies make noise all the time. Sometimes it does sound kind of like a grunt. Especially if i pict them up after eating or drinking!

            Keep an eye on her. If the sound returns, it might need further investigation. If you suspect gas you can give baby gas drops (simethicone).
