How much water do you give a baby rabbit?

Answer 1

It really depends on the rabbit. As long as you provide a regular sized watering can/bottle for your rabbit it should be fine. When your rabbit gets thirsty it will drink so be sure to always provide water. However if your rabbit is not drinking water at all you should see a veterinarian.

Answer 2

first answer: we should gave it 50ml.

More information: Rabbits drink between 50 and 150mL of water daily per 2lbs of body weight (depending on their activity levels, the water content of the foods they've eaten, and the weather).

Unless the rabbit is sick, you don't need to force it to drink water: just make sure it always has access to fresh, clean, cool water. Wash the water dishes daily to prevent bacteria and algae. Even if the bowl/bottle looks clean, wash it and replace the water, because stale water doesn't taste good, and you want to do everything you can to promote healthy water drinking. Also serve leafy greens sopping wet (once the bunny's old enough for greens, that is: 12 weeks)! See the related question below for more info about a healthy rabbit diet.

If your rabbit is sick, you need to make sure it's getting enough water, otherwise it will never get better. You should bring the rabbit in daily for sub-cutaneous fluid injections (or keep the rabbit at the vet's, if you can't go in daily). Experienced pet owners can also learn how to do sub-cutaneous injections at home. It's also a good idea to syringe feed water, to keep the digestive system good and wet: however, if you don't know what you're doing, you can easily drown your rabbit by shooting water into the lungs! Either way, none of this should be attempted without direction from a vet. If your rabbit is dehydrated because of illness, it needs more than water, so it needs to see a vet!
