Noisy Tummy??

Hi all, I've noticed over the last few days Obi has a really rumbly tummy, it's so noisy? He's seems fine in himself, I just wondered if there was anything I should look for or consider?? Thanks in advance!:D
 
Phoebe has always had a very noisy tummy. I've never really been too concerned and the vets never seem to think it's an issue.

Is Obi out grazing a lot. Grass is very rich at the moment and in some Rabbits this can cause a lot more gas. Many Rabbits will 'gurgle' after drinking.

If Obi's input and output is 100% normal and he is fine within himself I doubt there is much to worry about. I'd just keep an eye on him, as I am sure you will x
 
Hi both, thank you so much! He's an indoor, but he has been eating a lot of a rich green hay which I think has made his tummy gurgle more than usual...I'll keep a check on him, thanks again :wave:

It's probably nothing to worry about, but keep an eye out for reduced poo output which could indicate gut slowdown.
 
Hi, thanks for that. I have noticed quite a bit of white toothpaste like stuff where Obi pees, I'm guessing this is sludge as he has been eating a lot of alfalfa hay over the last week...this could also explain the grumbling tummy.....so taken the alfalfa hay away now....😔

It's not necessarily sludge, so don't worry :D It's excess calcium, passing through, which is good.

However, unless they are baby rabbits, I would ration the alfalfa hay. It's also very fattening x
 
ohhh....well that explains it as he is looking a bit on the tubby side!!....I'll defo ration, he'll be annoyed! :)
