whats the normal amount of water rabbits drink?

[LovableLops]

Smudge srinks about a WHOLE 8 oz bottle of water a day, is that normal?

My Flemmie boy just slurped down a full bowl... but I've seen Pipp, an ND, drinking maybe three times in five years. They're all different.

Pipp eats mostly salad, the Flemmie is big on hay. With most of mine, it seems the more hay, the more water. But not always.

Has Smudge's habits changed at all?

Does Smudge eat any fresh greens? My young bun used to drink 2 whole crocks of water in a 24 hour period when he ate only hay and pellets. When he became old enough, I gave him veggies and now he drinks only about 1/3 of what he used to consume in a 24 hour period.

My other bun drinks very little water. I catch him slurping maybe once a month and his water bowl doesn't look like it's ever touched even though I change it out every day. He eats a big plate of salad twice a day though, so I bet he's getting enough from the greens.

How old is he and what does his pee look like? Is it very clear? Cloudy?

Sounds good.

Where did you get him? What was he eating before and what is he eating now?

Saw his Blog. You may want to give him a little 'hidey box', maybe a shoebox with the end cut off for a doorway. They like something over their head, especially in a new place.

Wot a cutie!!
