Hello. Yes, rabbits can drink rain water but there are always risks when the water contents are not controlled. There is always a risk of parasite transmission, bacteria, pesticides, other toxins occurring in rain water and run off. If the rain water is collected in a clean container that’s protected from other wildlife and other sources if contamination, then it should be fine. If in doubt, offer clean tap or bottled water.
