Is it normal for my rabbit to eat lots of hay and drink lots of water?

Question

This days it’s been eating lot of Timonthy hay, I’ve a hard time trying to switch from alfalfa hay to Timonthy hay when it was young...when I switched, it still eat hay but only a bit...this year I got the hay from different place, it seems to love the Timonthy hay a lot now, so eat ate a lot of hay... at the same time, it’s water intake increases quite a lot too. I realised that when it eat a lot of hay,it’ll drink a lot of water. Is this normal? I do not give vegetables daily btw. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | 2 years and 7 months old

Yes, all of this sounds normal. The hay is the most important part of a rabbit's diet and I am glad to here he drinks a lot of water. You can give him some vegetables/fruits if you'd like to . Here is a link with a list of things that are safe to give him: https://rabbit.org/suggested-vegetables-and-fruits-for-a-rabbit-diet/
