When Bellatrix drinks from a bowl she makes a very loud gurgling noise. She seems to prefer drinking from a bowl so is this something to worry about? Should I get rid of the bowls and just use bottles? Thank you!

Some Rabbits do gurgle when they drink, either from a bowl or a bottle. Morse gurgled so loudly I could hear him from another room !!

Two of my trio are lops and they're both sisters, but only one gurgles loudly (that I've noticed!)
Chinook's gurgle is so loud and so bloody cute, it's really high pitched

Bitzy-B - totally of the subject (I just noticed your location), do you know of any good rabbit rescues in Lancashire?
Oooh Hiya :wave:
I got Hollie from Easterleigh Animal Sanctuary in Blackpool, they have some lovely bunnies in at the moment. http://www.easterleigh.org.uk/animals/small+animal/
Unfortunately they've been given notice on their lease so are going to have to either close or move to alternative premises (although in order to move they need to raise in the region of £100,000). So they're desperate to re-home the animals they have there.
They were great with me, Hollie had only just been spayed so I had to wait a few weeks before I could bring her home, Della (the bunny lady) was fab and kept me updated with her progress and I went to visit her each week (hence having met the other bunnies that are in there).
Other than that, there's the RSPCA http://www.rspca.org.uk/local/blackpool-and-north-lancs-branch/petsearch#onSubmitSetHere but I've never had any dealings with them as regards bunnies and adoption etc.
Hope that helps a bit x

Research has shown that rabbits drink more from a bowl than a bottle, so in my book I would prefer to give a bowl :thumb:
