As the summer months continue, be sure to check on
your rabbit’s water levels several times a day. When the heat increases so
should your rabbit’s water intake. Rabbits can drink a lot of water year round,
but their water intake can especially increase when the temperatures rise. In
general, most five pound rabbits can drink as much as a 25 pound dog. If you
notice that your Californian isn’t drinking very much, please call your vet
right away. Keeping your rabbit’s water bottle filled with fresh, cool water
can help encourage him to drink throughout the day. Using a water bottle can
also help you judge how much your rabbit is drinking. Water bowls are OK, but
oftentimes rabbits will spill them and they could be without water for long
periods of time. Californian rabbits can get serious ill if they are without
water for 24 hours or more. Click
