I just got my bunny, Lacy, on Sunday so we've almost had her for a week. I noticed at least 3 or 4 times that she hiccups. I don't know what this means. She doesn't seem to be in any pain.
Here's the details:
Name: Lacy
Sex: doe/female
Age: around 2 months
Breed: English Spot - gold
Weight: I'm not sure how much she weighs and what weight is normal for an English Spot her age. I would guess around 3 or 4 pounds?? She seemed underweight when I got her from the breeder (I could really feel her bones- spine, ribs, hips, shoulders etc). She's gained some weight since she's been with me and I now I can't feel her bones nearly as much.
Diet: unlimited amount of Oxbow alfalfa based pellets and timothy hay (I'm getting her some alfalfa hay soon to replace this). She also gets fresh bottled water daily
Location: In our second floor apartment in western South Dakota, USA
Other: She poops, pees, and eats normally. Her pee seems normal but her poop sometimes seems a little soft (and very smelly). And she sometimes has really tiny poops (I heard that's not normal). When she starts hiccuping, she's laying down and it only lasts for a few seconds. I've only seen her do it 3 or 4 times. Besides the hiccuping, she is a very active and curious bunny and has free range of the apartment during most of the day while I'm there.
I really want to know if this is normal or not and what I should do. I seem to have the new mommy syndrome and every little thing worries me.
Here's the video of her- she starts hiccuping towards the end (that's my boyfriend in the background):
