I have two of my four buns who some days drink a lot of water during a 24 hour period. I measure their water intake twice every day by knowing how much is in their bowl and then measuring the left over. I had a bun in the past who dehydrated with severe hair blockage consequences so it has made me anxious about water consumption.
The rule of thumb is 50-100mls per Kg but my older doe who is around 3Kg has some days had as much as 720mls and other days as little as 240mls. I am at a loss to understand the huge variation. She is not on any medication but has really increased her hay intake since January / February when she had a 13 day period of stasis.
Does anyone else have buns with this level of water consumption?
