Not eating the nigh feces in rabbits can become a problem, it is usually happening when the rabbit is either overweight or ill. excessive drinking is usually a sign of disease as well, most commonly kidney failure or diabetes, you will need to take Mr sniffles to the vet in order to have a blood test done ASAP.
