How much water

should a bunny drink a day. Moo & Liquorice are going through 3 huge dishes a day! They never went through so much before we moved, but they did get a lot more veg. Is there an underlying cause for such water consumption? I'm not sure which one of the 2 it is!
 
Our 3 go through 2 x 500ml bottles a day between them, more in the summer.

Moo and Liquorice were getting through 2 bowls a day when they were here and we then topped one of them up for overnight.
 
mine hardly touch the stuff. they have two bottles and a small bowl each day and rarely bother with them...
 
I think it just depends on the individual bunnies- some are more active, some have thicker coats, and as they regulate temperature by water intake, it all depends on the lifestyle (I think!)
 
Harley goes through a Large Classic Bottle a day in summer, Flash goes through about half of that ammount.
 
My bridge bun Mopsy and Peter, although mainly Mopsy, got through 3 litres a day when she was ill. What is their wee output like?
 
My two nethies together drink nearly 7 oz (or 225 ML) in 24 hours.

Not sure how exactly much Jack and Izzy drink but I know Jack drinks less than the nethies and Izzy drinks a lot more (Izzy is a mini lop, about twice the size of my nethies).
