New bunny sound since bringing Bumble into the house

Hi all.

Since we brought Bumble home last Oct, I kept hearing this intermittent sound that sounds a bit like a **** crossed with a rabbit grunt. I've never heard it before, so had presumed it was Bumble as he was new. Its been very random, but I finally heard it whilst sat in the pen with them and it definitely came from Pip!

This has suprised me, she seems fine. I dont think it was a grunt of annoyance, she's never done that before and she was happily sat on the castle at the time.

In her old pair she used to regularly do a cute oink sort of grunt especially around food, so we always took that as her claiming territory over the food from Archie.

She hasn't made that sound once since his passing, and has been really calm around food. She used to sometimes bat her feet forward whilst grunting and claim thr food as hers too.

This new sound isn't linked to food. Just seems to happen when she's sat either cleaning or just doing regular bun stuff.

Has anyone had a bun who's sounds have changed in a new pairing? Do senior buns have different noises?

She's just had a health check and passed with flying colours. So I'm not worried, just interested in suppose .
 
i'm curious to know the starred out word 🤣 ahhh, was it f art? I'm glad you're not worried. I honestly dont know but I think on some elderly buns their digestive system gets more sensitive. Now what end does the noise come from?

Lol I didn't realise it had done that. Yes you guessed the word right. I've no idea what end the noise came from 😆. I shall do some more detective word and report back.
 
You asked what I was thinking J & B 😂 I think you need to record it 😊 Glad she passed her health check, that's the main thing 👍

Yes. I was worried because of her age, but vet was very impressed with her. I thought she might have arthritis and need more help. However they described her as suprisingly muscley and I said she happily sprinting and jumping everywhere. Lol. So we decided she was fine. I think her new toy boy has given her a new lease of life. 😆
She's stopped leaved cecos everywhere, so it must have been stress from being at the bonders or a slightly different diet. Or she was just reasserting her territory. 🤷
I shall attempt to record the sound, but its very intermittent, so it will be a challenge!
