What is she doing when she makes the noise?
Does she open her mouth as she 'wretches' ?

I would ask your Vet to check her over. Repeated gagging episodes are not normal Is she sneezing at all?
Dental problems can also cause 'gagging'
How old is your Bun?

fudge sort of does something similar but normally after he has been grooming himself.....and gets trapped wind so ends up burping (or bottom burping)....

Hmmmm only time I've seen one of my buns doing it she was wretching and drbbling and course I knew they cant be sick so I was very worried. I took her to the vet and she had a virus of some sort that was making her throat very sore. She did have an injection of some sort to help her (cant remember what it was :roll
and we made sure she had soft easier things to eat and after a few days she got better.
I found it really scary though and phoned the vet the minute I saw her do it the first time. Its definitely not a normal thing to do. I'd definitely get her to the vet for a check over x

well he is still going strong with no signs of any trouble.....he can be pretty good at farting when he wants!
Mine appears to hiccups after eating or grooming, but they don't last long. He also 'bottom burps' from time to time. He has never wretched, but does tend to sneeze - I put that down to him getting his own fur up his nose.
He also makes assorted squeaks, grunts, snorts and groans. This completely contradicts what most people think about them being silent.
