Could just be a hairball? You can get treats that help with them
Rabbits dont get hairballs in the 'cat way', they occur as a secondary condition to GI stasis. Rabbits are also unable to regurgitate
Personally I have never heard a rabbit cough but I have heard reports of it in rabbits with RTI's. How frequently is it occuring? How are his eyes,nose and handkerchiefs?

I would take her to the Vet as it may be a sign of tracheitis (inflammation of the trachea).
This and sneezing are features of Pasteurella and it is better to act promptly and get the Bun thoroughly checked by your Vet

his eyes nose and hankies are fine, i read that if its hair making him cough he should have some in his front teeth so we tried to look there and couldnt see any hair. He coughs after grooming himself and its been about 5 times since i first posted.
Darren made a joke that he was retching because i stank before my bath (see post about me being ill! im sweating like a pig!)
