How long can a rabbit and guinea pig survive without water?

There water bottle has just broke and we can't fix it or set up any other device for them to get water, would it be risky to leave them without water for the night?How long can a rabbit and guinea pig survive without water?
How long has it been since they haven't had fresh water?





Rabbits can survive a long time without food but on the other hand,they cannot live that long without WATER.If water is not available,then they would cut out from eating,which would totally ruin your rabbit's diet.





For guinea pigs,same case.But keep in mind that they might turn aggressive if water is not provided for a long period of time.





';Insufficient water intake will reduce feed intake';.Remember that.





Well,the answer is simple.For the night,give them a little bit more fruits/vegetables with high water content like:


Cucumber


Squash


Celery


Broccoli


Cauliflower


apples


papaya





They should be fine for the night.

secure the bowl to the side of the cage with string or wire or something or put a heavy rock in the bottom, or or put a cup filled with water upside down in a bowl, that'll stop them tipping it, it's not good for them, they drink heaps, or provide them with green leafy veges, if you can't be bothered to do the bowl suggestion
Probably not, but maybe you can put a little bowl or some thing that holds water so they can still get some water.
Your rabbit and guinea pig will be fine. They can go one night without water.
NEED to give them something to get water from. Would not want to risk it!
