My female rabbit gives noise if she is grooming her back. It sounds like her breath gets out because of to small space for air in her lungs. Like a human with a big belly making noise by getting the hands to the feets.

Now I am worried if she has pain, because I heared, rabbits gave no noise, only in big pain.

When do rabbits make noise? Are there reasons not connected with danger or pain?

  • Can you post a video of her making this sound?

  • I have none, but I will do when I have made one. My focus for "long time use" of this question lay more on the "noise without pain" part :)

  • In that case it might be a duplicate of this post pets.stackexchange.com/q/2264/13 but the more specific noise you are talking about is not covered there. I am pretty sure I know what the sound is, and that it is not a problem, but a video would help. My rabbit makes sounds like this when grooming.

I'm not sure what kind of noises you describe but my bunny makes noises when eating sometimes (and when he sees me filling his plate with food) so I guess noises sometimes come from other things and not only pain.

Here is my bunny making noises when eating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOcedLpV8ZA

    That little noise at the end of the video, my rabbit(s) will make it when grooming. Sometimes it lasts a few seconds. If that is the sound the OP is asking about, I agree it is not a problem.

  • Thank you for the video. The sound is similar, like air is pressed out.
