  He got up, moved about and ate. I’m feeling his tummy, it’s soft but I can feel his gut move.
  
  Is this good? Bad? Normal?

  I have felt blockages, but I’ve never felt it move. Have you tried giving him baby gas meds? Maybe he is feeling gassy and that is why he hasn’t been up to moving around.

  I know it is gas now. Loud tummy noises. Been keeping him cuddled up and massaging his tum. Loud noises gone after about half an hour of massaging, just quiet gurgles now.
  
  Just praying to God that’s it and praising Him for looking after my baby

  Some tummy noises are normal. A tummy that is completely quiet or very loud (like a human belly gurgling) is not normal.
  
  Is he still eating well? If a bunny is having a painful bout of gas he will usually sit hunched and be unwilling to eat.
  
  I always keep simethicone in my rabbit first aid drawer in case of gas.
