We have a young bunny about 4 months old. Has been to a vet and is in good health. Problem is all of a sudden he will not drink water. Is this a problem or will he simply drink when he is ready?

Hello,

Is your rabbit eating normally?

What do you feed him?

Is he passing normal droppings?

Thank you for the additional information.

Is eating but not as much as has been. Eats greens, timothy hay pellets, and veggies as a treat(carrots, bananas). Passing droppings normally. Simply stopped drinking, therefore urinates very little. Vet felt his bladder and is fine. Any suggestions?
