Taking care of a Chinese Rabbit

Okay, this may not be in the right forum...sorry for that. I choose the best one I thought possible.

Now, I have recently gotten a Chinese rabbit (two of them, actually, so that they can have some company). This is the second time I have done this, as about a week prior I also got a Chinese rabbit, whom died within a few days.

I have been told NOT to give the rabbit water...rather, it will get enough water from the grass and leaves it eats. I have argued though numerous times that everything needs water, and I didn't think that there was enough water for the rabbit to survive. HOwever, I have been told (through my translators) that since they are Chinese rabbits and not "white rabbits" (not exactly sure what that means), that they are different and thus you shouldn't give it water.

Now, the previously mentioned rabbit I got a week ago was given some water (I gave it some water that was clean, and my friend supposedly also gave it some water, although my friend is unsure if it was clean or not...). I don't know how much though (I gave the rabbit roughly the amount of water in one of those bottle caps because it was so small), so I am unsure if the rabbit got "enough".

I also wanted to check just on what a Chinese rabbit should be fed. I don't think I can find as many pellets here, but green vegetables such as cabbage, carrots and so forth are relatively easy to find.

If anyone here that has experience with rabbits, especially Chinese rabbits, can give some advice/clear some of this up, that would be wonderful.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

THanks all, especially you wolf.

But yeah, I am hoping they stay healthy for a long time too. As it were, the person I am talking to is saying that they get enough water from the vegetables they eat when you wash them (which, at this point in time, is restricted to carrots until we get something more, at least I hope my friend did that).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
