  Hey,
  
  I am not a vet but if my bun was breathing this fast while resting, I would be concerned and I would seek a check-up with the vet. I am a paramedic so I often listen to their lungs and heart with my stethoscope. I’m not sure if you are trained in that area.
  
  Sometimes my rabbits breathe much faster after exercise (this makes sense). What were the events leading up to this? Is this how she is breathing 24/7? When did this start? Sounds like kids screaming in the background, could this have startled her? How long have you had her?
  
  Good luck!

  It’s a bit difficult to say, if she’d been up and running just before, it’s of course perfectly normal. I used to see sth very like it in my Yohio, and I’ve read about other buns that do it too. They sort of shake when they’re lying down, not every time but sometimes. Rabbits do breathe much faster than we do.

  Keep an eye on her. Maybe sth startled her?
