Twitching/hiccuping

Twice in the last few days I have noticed Audrey 'twitching'. Its been when she is just sitting relaxed, but not asleep.

It is not breathing problems. It almost looks like silent hiccuping :? Her chest and head sort of move up and down for a short amount of time and then she returns to normal.

What could it be please? Anything of cause for concern? She seems fine in every other way.
 
I think it is ok, Rorys back always twitches when he eats bananas, it reminds me of Gremlins, I half expect little gizmos to pop out of his back. He also get hicups all the time, it happens when he relaxes after having a mad half hour. He is a healthy bun so im hoping all is well

My two occasionally get the hiccups. I was a bit concerned at first but having done a search on here it seems it is quite common and nothing to worry about. :D
 
I've seen Bundle doing it too - usually when she's wolfed her food down a bit too quick! :lol: :lol: I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about (although now I'm worrying that someone will come along and say different :shock: ) :lol: :lol:
