Is this grunting?

[AshAndMaple]

Hi, Ash has started making these noises. It seems to be when Maple is close to his pen. I've never noticed it before, and he had a reaction to anesthetic the day before where he stopped breathing for 5 minutes so I wondered if it could be a breathing issue? I just wanted some clarification from anyone who has a bunny who grunts bc it does seem to be directed at Maple

If it's only when the girl is close I would assume it's just courting behaviour.

Thank you, I'm assuming that's what it is, I just wanted someone else's opinion too!

Hi
I was told this sound is grunting.
Elf does this when I try to get him to go around a few times before I offer him a treat. My daughter says he only grunts at you mum!

Good to know it's not just him!

He's not doing it so much now, so I think maybe he's going through a less hormonal patch he doesn't do it at me, only his sister!

To me that is teeth chattering or clicking, not grunting. And not to be confused with teeth grinding.
The sound of their grunting is almost like a pig snortting but at a smaller scale.
I recommend you Google sounds they make because then there's honking, which usually happens when they are feeling "frisky". You may find this YouTube vid helpful:

Definitely wouldn't say that was grunting, sounds more like chattering to each other
