  Hi!
  I got a baby lionhead bunny 2 weeks ago, she is 10 weeks old now. I’ve noticed that she really doesn’t drink much at all.. as in I can’t tell if it’s her drinking or if the bottle is leaking a bit! I also put a bowl in her cage, but i’m not sure that she’s drinking from that, either (she might just flip it over)
  
  She is still super active, social and friendly.. I’m not sure if i’m worried over nothing or not.
  She is approx. 3 pounds and eats the following:
  Unlimited timothy hay
  Limited alfalfa hay
  1/2 greens per day (either romaine lettuce or spring mix)
  1-2 baby carrots per day
  3 tbsp. pellets (alfalfa based)
  
  Any ideas what I can do? or am I worried about nothing?

  Do you have a a bottle with a metal ball in the tip where they drink? Mine does and that’s how I tell if she’s drinking or not. Also you should adapt your rabbit to one form on drinking so either bowl or bottle not both.

  Try a bowl and see if she’ll drink from that.
