Rabbits and Water

Victor Gage wanted to know the experience of others who have kept
rabbits. I have kept them for the last five years. I find that
they will not drink water if you feed them on clover, grass,
cabbage, lettuce, turnip tops, and other green plants. There is
always a little dew on this food. If there is much dew, they will
get enough water to last them all day, and often for three or four
days. On the other hand, if you feed them on dry food, such as
hay, oats, corn, stale bread, and other dry things, they will
generally drink water about two or three times a week, and
sometimes every day.

I keep my rabbits in a house somewhat like the one Mr. Chase
illustrated in the Round Table some weeks ago. When it rains and
the rabbits are thirsty, they will lick the drops of rain as they
run down the wire netting. I think that if Mr. Gage feeds his
rabbits on the dry food mentioned for four or five days and then
give them water, he will be convinced that rabbits do drink.
