Drinking and weird tummy noises...

I just need to ask someting for my own peace of mind:

When Grimlock drinks from a bowl his stomach makes weird burpy, farty, gassy noises; is this something I should be worried about?

They're really loud and he only has them when he drinks water from a bowl (not a bottle). My friend and her mum came over today and looked shocked when I told them the noises were coming from him and it actually got me thinking. :?
 
I had a bunny from honeybunny called Gilbert and he used to make a gurgly noise when drinking from a bowl, it wasn't his tummy it was him swallowing, he used to fill his mouth then tip his head back, bless him. Does that sound similar?
 
I know his diet is awful so he's probably more gassy than a healthy bunny, but as it hasn't caused him any noticeable problems in the two and a half years he's been with me do you think it's okay to just monitor it and not worry too much?
 
Aww bless, my bunnies make a slurpy almost squeeky gurgly noise - they drink from a bowl too - they seem to slurp rather than lap :love::love:
 
No don't worry - this is completely normal in some buns! I hope! :lol: When Nino drinks he shoves his face in his bowl of water and just sucks it up like a giant straw - and his tummy starts squeaking and popping and gurgling - it's hilarious and we have to try not to laugh! :lol: It's so funny and cute :D
When Poppy drinks it is much more ladylike and she laps at the water like a cat :D She drinks slower so no tummy noises. However, before she drinks she does a quick 'chink chink' by biting the side of the bowl - to test it I suppose - it's so funny. We can't see the water bowl when we are sat down but the second we hear the ceramic bowl on her teeth go 'chink' we know she's having a drink! :love:
