I officially have a spoiled bunny, he has been drinking bottled water since he started drinking water. He will only drink bottled water from a certain water dish that really doesnt hold enough water for him all day while I am at work. Filtered water just doesn't cut it and heaven forbid he drags a piece of hay into it or kicks a pellet of bedding in there. He wont drink it! He has gobs of Timothy hay in his cage which he is nosing around and will not eat until I put fresh handfuls of hay in. He's a BRAT!
I put a water bottle in his cage if for some reason he refuses to drink from his bowl or happens to run out of water but he doesn't seem interested in checking it out. Any suggestions how I can get him to try? He weaned off one of his Critical Care feeding a yesterday. I am a little concerned he lost 8 grams today, not sure what my vet had in mind to replace the Critical Care with. I started slowly adding Oxbow Timothy pellets back into his diet but I have to go extremely slow so basically he eats only Timothy and orchard grass hay. He is feeling a little thin to me today. (For those who don't know Zero's background he doesn't tolerate alfalfa well at all) Zero is 8 weeks old if anyone has any non-pellet/ alfalfa diet suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
