Why is my rabbit constantly drinking water but acting normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered

My rabbit has been either very close or with his mouth on his water bottle for a number of days. He is happy to have a cuddle or run around and doesn't want to go back straight away. I would have taken him to the vets but the last time he got so scared he scrabbled and fall of the table.

If Bugsy is eating and drinking ok, and acting normally, and using his litter box normally, he is probably ok. If he is not eating well, or urinating blood, or drooling, he likely has something going on and needs to see a vet.
