  I have about a 6 year old dutch buck. His belly rumbles sometimes. He eats fine. Oxbow bunny basics. Timothy hay. Romaine bok choy all different vegetables are fed. WHy is his belly rumbling? Any way to stop the rumbling or is it just natural.

  It’s normal for buns’ tummies to rumble as long as they are eating fine and their poops are solid; they should be eating their cecals as well. I wouldn’t worry about the rumbling unless you see other signs of illness or pain, like excessive gas, bloating, or failure to defecate.
  
  But it sounds like you’re feeding all the right foods, so I wouldn’t be concerned.

  A cecal is a kind of poop that rabbits produce; it’s different than their normal poop. It looks like a blackberry or cluster of grapes, is very dark in color, and is moist. They normally eat them, as they contain high nutrient content and beneficial bacteria to aid in digestion. You may not have seen them, which is a good sign! Rabbits will normally stop eating their cecals if they are getting too many nutrients or are having other GI tract issues.

  I don’t think it is from veggies. Rumbling is 100% normal. Just watch for signs of sickness and illness in your bunny. He will be fine!
