Am I paranoid or is there a problem?

Both Max and Rubys stomachs make strange gurgling sounds from time to time and I was just wondering if it was anything to worry about or not. I've never noticed any of my other rabbits do this, so I am a bit concerned. I tried to do a search on here but it led me on a bit of a wild goose chase as I wasn't sure what to search it under :lol: They are being fed on a diet of timothy hay and Burgess Excel for baby bunnies. I was giving them a handful of grass each day to as they have always eaten it before they came here, but have cut that out for a few days to see if it made any difference. They are still the same though, and I notice it a couple of times throughout the day :? Its so loud that I can hear it whilst walking past them :shock: At the moment they have unlimited pellets as they are only 11 weeks old, should I start to cut back on these yet? Some of their poops are a bit soft, but there is no diarreah and they binky around like mad and are happy buns. Please tell me that I am just being paranoid and that they are okay, thankyou :oops:
 
Skip belly makes gurgling noises but just so long as they eat and poo normally i think it's ok. I know my belly makes some very loud noises sometimes!!
 
when i first got my bunny bella, she came from a breeder who no longer wanted her anymore. i was really worried about her because i couldnt get her to eat anything so i took her to the vets, who said that she still had milk in her and had only given birth 2 days before i got her. bellas tummy always used to make that gurgling noise which the vet told me means that they arent on a balanced diet.

do your rabbits eat lots of hay?
