I'm back... this time I mean it.

anyway this morning I was outside and my grandma said that Flopsy hadthe hicups and sure enough he had them. About every ten secound hisbody would bounce. I was soo cute.

I know that people get hiccups when we swallow to much air. And thatits not harmful to us. Well what about rabbits is this normal?
 
Assuming that hiccups in a rabbit are the same asin humans, it isn't a problem. Hiccups are just the diaphragm havingspasms, usually due to inhaling quickly. I have never seen my buns dothat but I bet it is pretty cute!

I had actually posted about this waaaay back,asking if it was normal~since Jaden likes to be a littlechunkymonkey and eat quickly or drink like a camel off the Sahara, shethenproceeds to sprawl out on the floor and hiccup (not allthe time) if the girl could manage a toothpick in a paw I am sure shewould!

Maybe say "Maw, them were good eats!"
