          Is it a one off click or a few clicks in a row (like a chattering)? Are they loud? Does she hunch over when she does it?

            My Sterling will do a bit of teeth purring when he lays down and is relaxed.

            The difference between tooth purring and chattering is tooth purring is a light sound, like a little tap tap tap. Teeth chattering due to pain is much louder and is like a grinding sound. From my experience, I’ve most often seen the bunny sort of chatter their teeth from side to side.

              Buffy often clicks her teeth a little when she lies down and prepares to sleep. She stops after a few seconds and drowses off. Ted used to do the same thing, so I’d say it’s pretty normal. I wouldn’t be concerned unless it’s very loud, she hunches over when she does it, or she avoids food/water/pooping.

                Thank you very much for the help I guess I’m a very paranoid first-time owner as I am very very conscious of how delicate buns are. She seems perfectly normal and definitely has an appetite, the fact that she managed to snaffle half a nice biscuit while I was out of the room the other day has me more concerned than usual and from that I have kept a close eye on her and apart from 3 tiny poops all poops are normal which I am using as my first line of defence to tell that something’s up.

                  It seems like a couple clicks but just for a second then stops and I’ve heard it sporadically throughout the day
