Should I be able to hear my bunny breathe?

[delilahh]

I only hear it when I'm within a foot from her face and when she's out of her cage. Could she maybe just be breathing heavily from running around or could this be something more serious?

:?

Rabbits breath fast naturally. It could be from running around. Does she sound wheezing or labored?

 

[delilahh]

Nope, just quick, audible breaths. I wouldn't even had noticed if I didn't with my face just about touching hers

Poe does that if he is a bit scared or has been running around lots. Nothing to worry about - They always breath very fast and they only stop moving their noses when they sleep.

Is she still breathing from her nose only? Mouth breathing is not good in bunnies, but if you are that close it is somewhat normal to hear breathing.

Yep, just nose. Thanks everyone! I tend to worry/obsess over any "strange" pet behavior haha
