  My bun winston has a little nose whistle when he breathes, you can only hear it when you put your ear right next to him. He also sometimes makes a noise that i’m not sure if he’s honking or if he’s sneezing? Is this something to be concerned about ? Everything else about him is fine, he’s playing, eating, sleeping and etc !

  Hmmm, does it seem to get worse when he exercises?
  
  Without hearing it I can’t really say, but it might be worth a vet visit to make sure he doesn’t have a respiratory infection.

  I agree to a vet visit. While it seems clear that there is no immediate, imminent danger, since rabbits are obligate nose-breathers (i.e. they only breath through the nose; not mouth), any potential obstruction/condition that may worsen and block nasal breathing is serious. Make sure you see a rabbit-experienced exotic vet: rabbit.org/vet-listings , https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Choosing_a_rabbit_veterinarian#Rabbit_veterinarian_listings
  
  That being said, my Fable whistle-breathes more often than a “typical bun” likely due to her anatomy, but we did go through x-rays and antibiotic treatment before drawing that conclusion.

    No when he’s playing it sounds the same, the whistle isn’t louder or anything like that. I just took him to the vet not too long ago for a regular checkup and she said he was perfectly healthy?
