Is she spayed ?
If not it is probably hormonal behaviour.
If it's a 'snuffle' rather than a 'grunt' that's indicative of a possible Respiratory Tract problem and a Vet consult would be needed.

hi, thanks for replying so quickly. yes she is spayed but her husbun died a few weeks ago, yesterday I got a rescue rabbit male to replace him. Harvey, the new bunny is adult, male and neutered. he is in separate hutch but when i was introducing them this morning Isabella was grunting. Do you think this is a good sign? will be following forum advice regarding bonding, so only saying hello this morning.

Bailey's a mini lop female, she isnt spayed, and she grunts all the time, its a hormonal thing but she also grunts if shes happy to see me, so id say shes ether feeling hormonal, happy or both! x
