Answer 2

No. Rabbits should be given water as well as food.

Rabbits will get some moisture content from their food if they are eating fresh veggies and grasses. Dew that collects on grasses can also be a water source. BUT rabbits need much more water to survive than they can acquire from food. They must have a fresh clean water source all the time.

Answer 3

No, bunnies can get sick if soaked in water. When it's very hot, some rabbits like to sit in water, but don't give your rabbit a bath: it can be dangerous for many reasons. There are many other ways to keep a rabbit cool in the heat. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

Answer 4

Some rabbits do like going in water, but most rabbits don't. It's dangerous to make your rabbits do something they don't like because they can panic and injure themselves; also, they won't trust you afterwards, and a mistrustful rabbit is not a fun pet. There are other risks associated with getting wet, even if your rabbit does like the water: e.g. ear infection, or hypothermia.

Answer 5

Yes, rabbits need water to survive. Rabbits get some water content from the fresh greens they eat, but they should also have unlimited 24/7 access to fresh water in a clean bottle or bowl.

In the winter, make sure the water doesn't freeze (eating snow is not like drinking water, and it's dangerous!); in the summer, make sure the water is cool (throw in an ice cube now and then; rabbits don't like warm water).

If you notice your rabbit isn't drinking much water, consult the vet as soon as possible for advice, and possible testing.

If your rabbit has stopped drinking water, this is an emergency: go the vet's immediately! In off-hours (nights, weekends, holidays), bring the rabbit to a local 24/7 emergency vet hospital for subcutaenous fluids at least until your vet's available. (Experiened rabbit owners may choose to skip the hospital and hydrate their rabbit at home; consult your regular vet as soon possible, either way.)
