How do I give my pet rabbit water? - Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital

We recommend having both a water bowl and a hanging bottle so they can pick which one they prefer at different times. In case your water bottle plugs up, you've got the bowl there. That way, they have an option and can do either/or, and they can continue getting that water in. That's important for digestion.

What do baby bunnies eat? - Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital

Initially, they're going to drink some milk from their mothers, and then once they transition onto the hay, we want them to have just a little bit more calcium in their hay, so they can eat some alfalfa hay as opposed to adults, which eat more grass-based hay.

How do I know if I have a sick rabbit? - Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital

Rabbits are great at hiding their sickness, unfortunately, so any little changes that you notice in behavior, appetite, and lethargy, even if you wake up and they are normally on the bed, but they're on the carpet, little things can be an indication. So if you notice anything, bringing them to the veterinarian immediately is important.
