It might help to define what qualifies a novel as "a Watership Down featuring (whatever)". It should feature animals in their natural environment, living and acting as close to their real life counterparts as possible. Some liberties with this are acceptable, such as the scribes and libraries in the Duncton Wood stories, but any story that has bipedalized animals wearing clothes and living in houses, or which features animal-like aliens or genetically engineered animal-morphs would not qualify. Domsetic animals are something of a gray area that would depend on how narrowly you want to define the criteria for inclusion.
Another to add to the list:
Foxes: "The Foxes of Firstdark" (aka "Hunter's Moon") by Garry Kilworth
Also note that Felix Salten wrote several other books besides "Bambi", some of which are virtually unheard of nowadays, such as "Fifteen Rabbits" and "Perri, the Youth of a Squirrel". Some publisher really should collect all of these and reissue them.
