Can I change my rabbit's water every other day instead of daily?

Hello. Yes, rabbits can drink rain water but there are always risks when the water contents are not controlled. There is always a risk of parasite transmission, bacteria, pesticides, other toxins occurring in rain water and run off. If the rain water is collected in a clean container that’s protected from other wildlife and other sources if contamination, then it should be fine. If in doubt, offer clean tap or bottled water.

Every rabbit is different, as long as she has fresh water available to her and she is eating well and looks healthy, I would not worry overly as she must be drinking enough to maintain herself. If you feed greens she will drink less. I would provide her with both a nipple drinker and bowl of water as some rabbits prefer either or.

Hi there! Storm can drink out of a water bowl no problem. I have two rabbits, and even when we are camping they drink out of their water bowls. I find this is cleaner and easier than dealing with dripper bottles that always leak. The key is you need a very heavy, crockery-type bowl that can't be dumped over--this works best. And make sure you change the water at least every other day. Have fun--buns are the best! PS if you insist on using the bottle, he will absolutely figure it out sooner or later :).

Hi, and thank you for these questions. Care sheets for rabbits are available on the internet. e.g. here https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/rabbits Briefly, water and hay (alfalfa or grass) should be always available. Commercial pellets should be offered at about 1/2 cup per day to an adult 2kg rabbit. With young rabbits (<6 months) there is no need to limit the pellets. A handful of leafy greens may be added 1-2 times daily. As to the urines, just keep the cage as clean as possible and replace the substrate when it gets wet. Regards

Hello. What you are seeing are porphyrin pigments in the urine. This is perfectly normal & may come & go. Make sure his pelleted diet is fresh & appropriate for rabbits. Rabbits absolutely need hay & grasses to live well & should be available to Snow all day long. You can feed other green leafy plants such as broccoli, cabbage, chard, parsley, celery leaves, watercress, kale, endive & carrot & beet tops.

Yes, this product should be fine for rinsing the eyes. If there is any yellow or green crusting of the eye, if your bunny is squinting his eye or otherwise seems uncomfortable then I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
