I have a pressing question and to worn you Fayedid this about three months ago then just snapped out of it.I needed to get a Britta filter and I did but before I gotthe chance I had to fill the water bottle with tap water.Faye has not touched the water for two days so knowing her so well Iused a syringe and had her put down probably quarter of a cup of water(each night). Iknow shes not dehydrated.I know her personality hasNOT changed at all. I'veseen her tinkle, I well say though she almost overshot the litterbox.Do you ever deal with this? Doyou think its howthe bottle smells after the tap water( we have great tapwater uphere)? Do you thinkI should thought some pineapplejuice down there, see if Itheres anyblockages(inside-pineapple juice)? Please help....

Have you tried a crock or little bowl? Sometimes Bo likes to drink from one.

I don't know about not drinking. Bo has ALWAYS drank plenty each day.(8 oz usually)

Rabbits may indeed show a preference to certainwater. I did see in another post that you feed a lot of freshgreens -- rabbits on a fresh food diet will drink far less than arabbit on a concentrated diet.
