        How much water is normal for a bunny to drink?

         

        Also, I’ve been feeding both Oxbow Timothy Hay and Oxbow Orchard Grass lately. The Orchard grass is much nicer, very soft and green and they love it.  They hardly touch the timothy hay which is pretty coarse and brown. Nutrition and fiber wise are the two hays pretty much equal as they are both grass hays? I’m also wondering does the coarseness of the hay affect the fibre, as in does very coarse hay have more fibre than soft, leafy hay?

        I have a lot of questions (but, hey I hear that’s a sign of intelligence) so thanks for any and all answers to my never ending nutrition Q’s.

            In regard to the water intake, the general guideline is 80 ml pr. kg. That would be approximately 1/3 US Cup per 2 lb…hmm, why don’t we all just use the same measurements, it would be so much easier

            I’m sorry for not being able to answer your question about hay, but my choice of hay is so limited and it doesn’t even say on the packages what type it is, so…
