My rabbit won't drink from his bottle. How to prevent dehydration?

Question

My rabbit has stopped drinking by himself, I've checked if his bottle is broken and it isn't. For him to drink I need to take out the bottle and squeeze it and that's when he starts to drink and won't stop. I'm scared he is going to dehydrate. He is still eating well though.

You may want to consider putting a bowl of water in his cage and see if he will drink from that as well. Also the ball in those bottles can become difficult to push back and may not seem broken but may be too tough for the bunnies tongue to manipulate. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
