Tummy gurgling...

Wise Old Thumper
Sometimes I notice Timmys tummy gurgling, its very quiet and I can only hear it when I have my ear to his belly but it always worries me.
Are some tummy sounds normal?? Or could it be trapped wind?
I heard it last night so I sat and massaged his belly for ages while he nommed some hay (he just let me do it, you could almost seeing him doing this :roll:)
I got myself into a panic about how he would be this morning but hes totally fine :? Am I just being paranoid?
He noms loooooooads of hay and is a good drinker :love:
 
Blakey's tum always gurgles when she's drinking her water, you can hear it a mile off.... well, when she's not slurping (she's not the most dainty of drinkers) and she doesn't have any real tum issues.
It does mean there's gut movement which is a good thing I guess?
 
Alfie's tum gurgles a lot. Sometimes i can hear it when I'm the other side of the room. It's really loud when he's drinking water. I don't worry about. I think it's normal digestion sounds.
 
Gentle gurgling and bowel sounds are quite normal :wave:

Loud gurgling and loud bowel sounds are not. These are usually audible without putting the ear to bunny.
 
Thanks guys,
I can only hear it when Im right next to him getting a groom off him so I HOPE they're just the normal sounds of a healthy moving gut. His tum certainly feels nice and doughy, no hard bits and its obviously not tender as he barely bats an eyelid when I slip my hand under him for a good feel :lol:

Thankyou, I knew you'd set my mind at rest xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:love:
 
Lucky makes funny tummy sounds but he seems ok in every other way so i assumed it was normal. :)
