It has been awhile since I have posted here.
Anyway, I have a rabbit named Carl. He is a Holland Lop about 6 months old. Long story short, I took him in and rehabilitated him after he developed GI Stasis and was not getting the care that he needed at a pet store where he was for sale. I'm currently trying to find a home for him since I cannot keep him, but I am concerned that something else may be wrong with him. I want to figure this out first before he leaves my care.
He got over his stasis a month or so ago and he was doing wonderfully. Recently, though, he has been drinking a lot of water. He is still kind of a baby, so I'm wondering what is up with this. I have a pretty standard water bottle (comes with a living world cage) and he drinks at least a bottle a day. If I had to estimate, I would say that it's about 16 oz in a bottle. He urinates a lot (obviously). He has been getting kind of aggressive with the bottle too, yanking at it and putting his paws up on the cage to try and get at it better. Should I be concerned? I mean, everything else seems normal.
For those who may be curious, here is a picture of him:
