  Has anyone had this before?
  
  Not sure if you can hear well (you will have to put it on maximum volume and then you can only hear it a bit), but essentially Snowball was making this snorting noise (inward it seems) for about 20 seconds. He stopped now and I haven’t heard it since, but I do find it weird.

  Unfortunately it looks like the video did not insert correctly. Some people have had success in uploading it privately to Youtube or Google Drive and sharing a private link.
  
  My instinct is that if it only lasted a short while, he might have been positioned in a way that made him prone to sounding more nasally in breathing? Are there any signs that he may be uncomfortable in any way?

  Oh sorry, not sure why the link isn’t “linking” properly, but the link itself seems to work – can you see the video now?

  I’m not sure…. it seemed more violent then breathing (you can see his body moving in a slight jerky motion), but I haven’t heard it since so I guess that bit may be okay.
  
  I’m starting to get a bit worried though. He didn’t eat his cecotropes this afternoon and was scratching his ears when I came back. Now he’s eating his hay with his ears down.
  
  My vet with the shelter (Snowball is a foster bun) is only around 10-5pm so I can’t see a vet tonight if I wanted to.

  It actually just looks like hiccups to me.
  
  I recommend monitoring and if there are sustained changes for a day or two, then it may be worth visiting the vet. Everything you mentioned can simply be a temporary shift or just something you’re more alert about because you are already worried.
