There are many possible reasons. Bring your rabbit to a special "rabbit-savvy" vet so you can determine and treat the cause (it could be kidney failure!). Some possible reasons include:

  • If your rabbit is female, she may be pregnant or maybe she just had babies.
  • If it's hot (weather), your rabbit will drink more water to avoid dehydration.
  • This may be a sign of kidney disease, especially in an older rabbits (over 6 years).
  • This also could be down to eating too much dried mixed food and not enough roughage (hay).
  • A salt lick can also be your problem. Salt absorbs liquids. Rabbits don't need salt licks! Remove it from the cage immediately.

If your bunny doesn't drink out of a waterbottle what can you do?

You can buy your bun an Automatic Pet Water Dispenser, which is essentially a water bottle turned upside down inside a dish. This is a good stable option which is difficult to knock over. Alternatively, you can simply use a bowl with water in it. Just make sure to put it in a place that is hard for it to be knocked over; you don't want your rabbit to run out of water because of this. Many rabbits prefer drinking out of bowls rather than bottles. They weren't meant to naturally drink out of bottles and find dishes more natural. This obviously works much better for house rabbits rather than caged. If your bunny is caged, consider allowing him to become a house rabbit.

How do you teach a baby rabbit to drink from a water bottle?

your bunny probably finds it harder to drink out of the water bottle, maybe its to low or too high, if its adjusted to th rabbits height already and still wont drink from it, try filling a small bowl with water and see if that works, or get one of those tiny cat bowls that comes with the jug ontop that keeps filling the bowl each time its empties, less for work u too! i have a rabbit that does the same thing, and we found this worked, but if it doesnt try going to a vet and see if maybe your bunny is sick or something?
