Bunny help, not drinking any water

[Lisa2067]

Hey there,

I recently got my Netherland Dwarf bunny about 3 weeks ago now and she is around 3 – 4 months old. When I first got her she was drinking amazing amounts of water from her bottle but as of recently I feel like she has completely stopped drinking. I haven’t her the little ball of the bottle in about 2 days now and haven’t seen her water bowl be touch. She’s still eating quite well and i’ve given her a touch or kale and watermelon as some source of water, she’s still energetic, running and moving about when I let her out of her cage but remain still (with still some moving around and eating small bits of hay) when put back in her cage (Which is probably normal but just thought id add it in!) She’s had a slight bit of diarrhea but I think that one is my fault (whoops! I’m on the process of fixing this) and i’ve seen a few pieces of her poo being quite small. Im just really worried and want to make sure she is okay, I want to take her to a vet but am unable to because of the flooding. Any suggestions would be amazing and greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

Is her water bottle functioning properly? It’s good she also has a bowl incase the bottle is faulty. Had she ever drunk from the bowl previously?

It may be that she just getting enough fluid through her other food.

Is she still eating her normal amount of hay?

See has used a bowl previously and the water bottle appears to be okay, i’ve seen her nibbling on some hay and the amount of hay going down but i’ve never seen her eat it constantly for more then a second. I hope that she may be getting water from her food.
