How much on average should a bunny drink a day? Bailey is a medium lionhead and Marsha is a small minilop?

Our 5 who are all small get through nearly a giant size bottle a day. That's not much help is it sorry.

lol, our two have a large bunny bottle each, bailey drinks roughly a third a day, whereas marsha (whos outside) drinks less.

i read that indoor rabbits drink more, i can't remember why though. i think it's something to do with central heating. Carlton is a mini lop and drinks between 100 and 200ml.

If I remember rightly which I probably don't as I don't have by book by Frances Harcourt-Brown with me they usually drink between 100ml - 150ml a day I think ,indoor buns can be more due to the heating!

i had Carlton get through 400ml in a day once when he was small he pretty much flooded the litter tray! :lol: i started to be a bit more considerate when it came to putting the central heating on! :lol:

We have that problem when Bunnie's been on Avipro, she loves the stuff and drinks tonnes and we have to change her litter tray 4 times a day rather then the once a day!

Average water consumption is 50-100ml/kg/24 hours
Buns who have lots of fresh veg in teir diet tend to drink less as they get some water from the veg
