Water

During the winter, it is extremely important to make sure rabbits always have access to fresh, unfrozen water. Even when the weather is cold, bunnies still need plenty of water every day to stay healthy, keep their digestion moving properly, and maintain their overall body condition. If their water freezes, they may not drink enough, which can quickly lead to dehydration and serious health problems. Checking water often in freezing temperatures is one of the most important parts of winter rabbit care.A helpful solution for outdoor rabbits in winter is a heated or winter-safe water bottle or bowl made specifically for cold weather use. These plug-in waterers are designed to help keep the water from freezing, making it easier for rabbits to drink whenever they need to. Using a winter water bottle, along with checking it daily to make sure it is working properly, can help give your rabbits a safer and more comfortable winter season.
