Is Snuggles blowing his nose?

[Lynda]

Every now and then Snuggles will wipe his nose(like when they clean their faces) and make some kind of noise. Twicetoday I even heard him "honk" when he was doing it.

Eyesare clear, no discharge when I check his nose, eating drinking, playing,etc...

Do rabbits just blow their noses sometimes?

I don't know about blowing their noses, but mybunny does like to honk and clean his face and ears...although not atthe same time.

Honking's normal?? I never actually thought of itas honking lol but it's fits. My bunny Calvin does it too! I thought ithad something to do with some kind of respiratory issue and was goingto bring it up to the vet as soon as I could but it's normal?

He's doing it again...no honking but like blowing his nose.

If he'sstill "blowing" in the morning, I'll take him to thevet. If he's got a cold or something, what should I expect the vet todo/give?

Mine will loudly snort when he gets frustrated with me then hop off flicking his feet.

That's kicking the dust off his feet as he beatsit out of there. "Enuff of you!", he says. A bunnykiss-off, no less.

Is this similar to what your bunny is doing, Lynda? What is going on when he blows his nose?

Nothing's really "going on".....he could be eating, sitting in thelitter box (I use Carefresh in there), pretty much doing anythinganywhere....

The only wayI can think to describe it, is somethingirritates his nose or gets in his nose and he tries to blow it out.

The honking he did while blowing earlier is just like when apersonblows his/her nose too hard....or whatever causes aperson to honk when blowing their nose.LOL

Iwas wondering if your bunny was irritated, happy, bored, etc. Maybe this thread could help:

Thanks, but I don't think it's a mood/behaviorthing. I really think his nose isbugging him.Hejust did it while drinking (bottle)!

Mycamera doesn't have any sound, but I'll try to video himdoing it. Anyone knowa site I can put the video and post alink to?
