Question
I have a young mini lop named sunny, and she recently has not drank much water..she is still eating and is urinating alot. Is she ok or should I take her to a vet?

Answer
If her diet has not changed, then I would recommend seeing a vet.  It is possible that she may be at the early stage of a problem.  The particular concern here is gi stasis.

Here's some information on gi problems in rabbits and what to look for:

Gi statis can be something very serious.  Hopefully that's not the problem here, but you should take her into a rabbit experienced vet to check her out.
