Drinking wee

Does anyone elses rabbit do it :?. I have noticed if Sophie does a wee on the floor she drinks it :?. Well its either her or Pringles wee not exactly sure but their is a few times i have seen her drinking wee. Is this bad for her? or will it not harm her?:?

She may be trying to re-absorb the calcium in the urine.

I also know a couple of buns who like to eat wee-ed on newspaper. They both are prone to teeth (and, as a result, gut) problems, although this may be coincidence as i meet a lot of buns with teeth and gut issues.

I would ask 'Thumps' about this...Thumper, Judy's rabbit, used to do this for a while....I don't think even her vet had any answers....other than is Sophie a rescue bun? water deprivation habit perhaps?
