weird gurgling noises?

Young Bun
Was playing with Hoy tonight when I noticed that her stomach was making some weird gurgling noises. I have not fed her anything new recently, only a small portion of pellets in the morning and unlimited hay throughout the day so I don't know why anything would be wrong with her stomach. I've heard that rumbling is a symptom of G.I STASIS so I'm really worried.

Any advice people??
 
Had she just had a drink of water? I'm think I've read on here before (somewhere, ages ago) that rabbits can sometimes have a gurgling stomachs when they've just had a drink, and that it's normal in that context...:?

But I'm not certain, does she have any other symptoms?

edit: I couldn't find the thread I read, but I did read a more recent one from this year which said that it's normal while a bun is drinking if that helps at all.

I've heard this occasioanlly in Oz as well. He's completely fine. It could just be that some buns have a louder digestive system than others? Or the just have had a drink factor as well. Are there any other symptoms worrying you? Or is the gurgling the main one?
 
Jims has a noisy tum sometimes as well, it could just be the gut digesting. Just keep an eye on him and if it gets worse or continuous then maybe a call to the vet would be in order.
 
Hey, thanks people for all your replies. Her tummy has stopped rumbling, I think it was because of the water. Silly me!
