Midnight's making new noises - is she OK?

M

Middy

Warren Scout
She's eating, weeing and pooing, is very hungry in fact and begs for food, but has started making squeaking noises while she eats and grooms herself. She has plenty of energy.

She started doing this after Alberta came back after being spayed (although they are now in separate rooms, until tonight)... she has been munching through a willow toy, has eaten a fair bit. But, as her functions seem normal, I'm not putting it down to that.

Any thoughts?
 
Has Midnight had any past history of 'Snuffles' (Upper respiratory tract infection)
It sounds as though she has mucus in her upper airway.

Hi Jane

No, she's never had a problem but is sneezing now and then (as does Alberta). Her eyes and nose are dry. She's looking OK overall, and the squeaks are not constant but I'll keep a close eye on her.

Thanks x
 
Blossom was very vocal, especially when being stroked and eating - infact whenever she was happy! Maybe your rabbit has just found her voice!
 
Cara, I hope so! She may have learned from Alberta, I guess.

She seems happy so I'll just be vigilant and hope it's just part of her new repertoire of skills!
 
one of my bucks was very vocal, esp when he could smell something tasty!!! You could try seeing if she makes noises when you offer her certain foods... x Jess
 
Hi all - thanks for the replies.

Is the sound like a kind of low grunt? I wonder if M has found her voice! Maybe her meeting Alberta hasn't been all bad...
