What's the best diet for my rabbit and why do they lick urine?

Should rabbits drink water? What should be in their diet? How often should I give them food? And also my rabbits licks their urine sometimes. Should I leave them as it is or should I not allow them to do it? Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered

Hi, and thank you for these questions. Care sheets for rabbits are available on the internet. e.g. here https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/rabbits Briefly, water and hay (alfalfa or grass) should be always available. Commercial pellets should be offered at about 1/2 cup per day to an adult 2kg rabbit. With young rabbits (<6 months) there is no need to limit the pellets. A handful of leafy greens may be added 1-2 times daily. As to the urines, just keep the cage as clean as possible and replace the substrate when it gets wet. Regards
