Question
Hello, i got my bunny for my 12th birthday (about 3-4 months ago) and I'm still learning more about her, but she's been drinking half her bottle in like 5 hours since i got her. Me and my parents we're doing research and we don't know if it's what! At first we thought it was a habit or boredom, and it also said that it could be a symptom of diabetes. I have to ask if i should contact our vet. Please help!

Answer
It could be a symptom of a problem, but some rabbits do just drink a lot. How large is the bottle (how many ounces does it hold?) and how much does she weigh? Also, what does her diet consist of? If she is eating only dry foods, she will drink a lot more than a rabbit that has some fresh foods in the diet, as well.
