Sorry, wasn't aware we were talking about a bun with a pre-existing condition
If he's feeling crappy, yes, quite plausible. Ginger's done it in the past when feeling *really* bad.

That's so sad
Poppy has the vets on Friday so she might have been doing it because her teeth might be hurting again That's so sad
Try giving her warm water instead (boil a kettle and then mix that water with water from the cold tap until it is luke warm) and seeing if that stops her drinking her wee. You'll obviously need to replace it regularly, I just know when my teeth were really hurting, cold water made it hurt more and when you see a rabbit drinking wee it is often because it is warmer and they need that temperature for some reason.

Parsley sometimes does it - I guess maybe because he has an existing condition as well - though tbh we always put it down to being something very male and hormonal (he is still plus plums)
Thank you for all your replies..
Yes its my snuffle bun benji.
He is on medication at the moment, my vet prescribed him septrin and bisolvon for when the bonding started, as its a stressful time for him and he will likely get snotty.
Hopefully the medication kicks in quickly. He hasnt done it since, it eas both times yesterday.
If it carries on I will book him into the vets. If this happens, what should I do r.e the bonding? They are both sitting here in the pen next to me good as gold. No fighting, humping or anything for days, and both buns seem happy.
If I took ben to the vets would I have to take cupcake?
When he has his medication in a morning and at night I get cupcake out aswell with him, and put them both back i together

From an outsiders point of view (i.e. just hearing what you're saying, not seeing with my own eyes), it is all sounding good and like it's heading in the right direction The bonding process itself is exceptionally long; You're only doing the acute phase, and you're essentially only doing it until they can be trusted together, after that, it will change and develop over time.
