Iam really confused about my rabbit's stomach. I hear only bubbling and nothing else not gurgling or any other symptoms of gas. In fact when the noises started he became very active and his apatite became larger. He is  healthy boy, his pee and poop is very normal and now eating much more grass than before. I changed his diet many times but nothing changed I still hear the bubbling in his stomach. Now I only give him grass, lettuce،spinach،parsley and a some fenugreek and even minimi

If the rabbit is eating and drinking and everything else is normal I would not be worried. It is very normal for them to have gut sounds. Rabbits should be eating hay (like for horses) as the main part of the diet so if you are not doing that, you need to start. That keeps their GI tract healthy and their teeth.
