bunny making grunting/grinding noise?

Question
Hello, I have recived my three newzealand white female bunnies and my mini rex/new zealand cross female bunny last friday, they got along great with my mini rex who is 5 months old(they met out of cage) so I joined there cages together and they are all now living happiliy in a group, all bunnys appered health when they arrived, all were silent, but the last two days one of the new zealand girls is almost constantly making a grinding/grunting noise, she eats well, drinks, potty well, is active and taming down nicely, she as well as the other gets timothy hay, carrots, parsley, martin brand pellets & chew sticks daily, therere bedding is newspaper and is changed daily, she isnt drolling and since shes eating well this can't be something wrong with her teeth, it seems to be like her noise is slightly blocked by the sound of the noise so I think its something to do with her breathing, the soonest I could get her to a vet is in two/four weeks, I was wondering if you knew what this could be? if the other bunnys can get it or if they probly already have it and if its easily treatable?, thank you for your help in advance.

Answer
It is possible that it could be a vocalization that most people don't realize rabbits have.

Or it sounds a little like snuffles.  If there is any drainage from her nose, sneezing or matting of the fur on her chin or front paws you need to see the vet sooner than you have mentioned.  Snuffles is highly contagious and if she has it all of the bunnies must be treated.  This is why they recommend quarentine for several days to weeks before introducing them.

Recommended treatment is injectible Baytril, a relatively inexpensive antibiotic.
