Tummy grumbling when drinking

[Ellie]

Hey guys,
So this has been going on for quite a while so I'm not too worried (aka not an emergency.)...as far as I know.
I had never been around Buster a LOT, because I was working, etc. But now that he's in my room and I sleep, study, etc. in here I've been getting more in tune with him.
I realized that EVERY time he drinks his stomach starts to grumble. It's like really gross noises, and they're really loud. But they're ONLY when he's drinking. I know it could be gas, but it makes no sense to me. It's not like it's a few seconds into when he's drinking either, it starts and stops immediately as he starts and stops.

Does anybody know what this might be? I think he's alright because I noticed it like 2 weeks ago when I moved in and he's still happy and binkying around.

Thanks!

If it's been that long, don't think you really have anything to worry about.

The same thing happens with my mini lop. He'll eat his pellets in the morning then nap, then a while later he'll finally drink and it's like you can hear his stomach filling up with the water. It's always been like that with him and I've had him a few years and never had any health problems with him.

Is he drinking from a bottle or bowl?

I had one that always did that when she was drinking from her water bottle. I thought it was the sound of her swalling weird though.

From a bowl. He has one of those crocks that hang onto the side of his cage.

Sooo weird, maybe it is him swallowing weird. I'm just so paranoid about him hehe

I guess you shouldn't worry about it. At least he's drinking. I wish I could get Honey to drink more.
