        Charlie has been sleeping mostly all day, he ate some timothy hay and timothy hay pellets and a small slice of an apple dipped in water to try to get him to drink, he’s still pooping fine, but hasnt been drinking much and it really concerns be since he was sick and almost died before, we do have an IV bag of fluids from the last visit in case things go down hill, but he still hasn’t been 100% himself, and my parents don’t really want to take him to the vet because of last times cost (around $500)  

        is there any way to get him to drink more? and yes ive already offered him a bowl but he just knocks it over :/ and i have been giving him wet greens but is it really enough? 

        also hes a netherland dwarf rabbit weighing at 2.8 lbs if that helps any, i dont really know exactly how much water this little guy is suppose to get

          If he’s getting fluids from his veggies, he probably doesn’t need to drink much Is he peeing?
