Did you know that the onset of colder weather can often make animals more thirsty than usual? It’s important to make sure your Himalayan rabbit is hydrated in the cooler months as well as the warmer months. If you notice your Himalayan rabbit’s drinking habits have changed, give your vet a call. Your rabbit could be simply adjusting to the change in temperatures or he could be coming down with a cold or illness. Himalayan rabbits should always have access to a fresh water bottle daily. One of the more effective ways to provide water to your rabbit is through a water bottle with a sipper tube. It is said that a five pound rabbit can drink as much water as a 25 pound dog. Rabbits can get seriously ill if they are deprived of water for more than 24 hours. If you’re not sure your rabbit is drinking enough talk with your vet Richboro, PA. Or click here.
