I have a female rabbit, named Zelda, have her for almost a year. I know the pet store give their animals water, but ever since I got her; she refuse to even sniff water. She will flip her bowl over, so I thought maybe she is drinking, it just the bowl is light because she put her paws on the edge of the bowl. I brought her a ceramic Snoopy Bowl. Then, I saw her jump on the side of it from her house! Lucky I caught the bowl before it hit the floor. I refill it with water again. And she jump on the bowl again. She don't like water. I heard the saying pet like owner, because I don't drink water neither. But I do like spring water. So maybe she like certain a type of water. I tried spring, mountain, tap, and mineral water. She didn't even try it. I look up ways to make rabbits drink water and many people say mix the water with carrots and celery. She sniff it then throw her bedding in it. My mother said, just splash water on her face, and she will lick it off. She use her paws to dry her face...... so my mother said, put her body in the water. She shake her body, use her paws to dry her face, then lay under the window in the sunlight. My mother said, nice knowing you Zelda. Like I really trying to get her to drink water. And she will steal my drinks.... soda, juice, coffee, and sport drinks.
