She only ever drinks about 50ml of water a day! Sometimes a little less. Doesn't seem like a lot to me? I've tried her with a bowl instead of a bottle but she just tips it over...

Is Molly drinking her enough?

all rabbits tend to drink slightly different amounts, young buns don't drink very much at all quite often. If you use a dog bowl I doubt she would be able to tip that over as they are quite heavy. She will drink as much as she needs and it is more worrying when they drink a lot.

Thanks! She's five now so not a young bun anymore but I guess she would drink more if she wanted to as there's always fresh water available. I'll try the dog bowl, thanks for the advice!
Does she eat much veg/fresh foods as they contain water too, meaning she won't drink as much?
As Tonibun said it can vary so, if it's always been normal for her to drink that sort of amount, then I wouldn't be too worried.
If she's drinking less/more than is normal for her than that can be a sign of problems.
