Why do rabbits...

Oh wow, I've just read that it might be a survival tactic due to lack of clean drinking water :(

Poor Buzz... I really don't think he had a nice life before he came to me :roll:

ahhhhh well at least he is with someone nice now.:D

Buzz no drink wee wee:love:
 
Is his mouth ok?
Cant remember where I read it but someone said they had a dental bunny that would drink his own wee because the warm temperature wouldnt hurt his mouth as much as colder water.
Just a thought.
 
Maybe give him lukewarm water then??

Are you sure he isn't just sniffing it? Grim sniffs wee and gets it all over his mouth. He also chins the litter tray... :roll:
 
Both the buns i've known to do this were dental buns. I'm inclined to think they either prefer the warmer temperature or are trying to reabsorb the calcium, but I don't know for certain xx
 
i don't know why some do it but maybe judy (thumps) will be about later as i think thumper does - or did (apologies in advance if i'm thinking about the wrong bun).
 
Well this worried me, because we had a dental scare last week... hmmm... off to the vets this week...

Thanks for all your replies. :wave:
 
Rum did this when she was younger, she also used to wee all over her foot. had us worried for a while but she grew out of it.

Now she just licks my socks, which is way worse than drinking urine.
