  Hmm, my senses are pretty high since Chacha got sick.
  
  I have a question: do you notice that if you look on the side of your bun, do you see them breathing? Or am I mistaking it for for food processing through the tummy? I do not know what this is, but I just noticed it. Chacha is relaxed and her nose is not twitching as much, but when I look at the side of her, the side is moving quite fast. Is this normal?

  Usually food and air moves through the GI very slowly in subtle rolling motions. I think a rabbit motion would be breathing or twitching…. not sure. Anyone else know?
  
  Is her ribcage/belly area moving up and down rapidly? That sounds more like breathing, but if it’s moving side to side or something, I am kind of stumped.

  Nova, I believe that it is the ribcage belly area! It is hard to tell on a bunny’s anatomy! LOL! I know that rabbit’s breaths per minute is very high compared to a humans and that it is normal.

  I can see Smudge breathe all the time, she breathes rather fast. It’s harder to tell with the others, but with her I do see it often.

  I see my buns breathing all the time. Especially Olivia since she has short fur. Sometimes I find it alarming how fast they breath. I have to remind myself that that’s normal, since breathing rate is affected by size. The same as it’s normal for my horse to breath slow compared to a human.
  
  Calm down, Brittany. Chacha is just fine. Go give her a hug and have some tea!
