  For the last 3 days, my bunny’s belly has been making noises almost all the time which is unusual for him. He’s been eating, drinking and pooping normally, however few more runnier poops showed today (not diarrhea, they just weren’t hard). His behaviors hasn’t changed in any way. Is it normal for his stomach to gurgle that much?

  It sounds like there’s gastric distress. Tummy sounds can be normal on occasion– it’s just an auditory cue that gas is moving around; however, it being constant is more a signal of chronic gassy distress. It makes sense that his poo would be a bit runnier as well, considering this symptom.
  
  Has he been eating anything unusual/different these past couple days? Such as a new brand of something, a different quantity of something, or a new toy/object?
  
  I would make sure to maximize hay consumption to get those poos more formed and it will also help with the gas as well.

  I agree. It’s probably gastric distress as Wick suggested. I wouldn’t be too alarmed if he is still eating and pooping. You could always try giving him some simethicone though to see if that helps work the gas out. Since this has been ongoing for a few days, it does make you wonder if something new (but consistent, like a new food) has been introduced.
