For the past week its seems the buns have been drinking less and less. Yesterday the bottle was almost still full. They have been having lots of fresh grass (from nextdoors jungle). Should I be concerned?

Not drinking

My bunny does not drink a great deal even when it is really hot. Someone suggested putting down a bowl of water as well as the bottle and now he drinks from the both. I think it's more natural for him to drink from a bowl.
I have to change it twice a day to keep it insect free!

Whats made me concerned they have gone from almost finishing off a bottle a day to now not touching it hardly.
They have had an increase in veg and as I said lots of fresh grass, especially as nextdoor have let it go wild, waste not want not.
Thought about a bowl but what sort shall I use? I have 7 spare cat food bowls but would they be too light?

I use cat bowls but they are the brown heavy ones, earthenware i think. My bunny did the same from drinking loads to nothing. I don't know why but he seems to be happy.
