water bottle types

Hi all,
My rascal little Leah always bites at the water bottle, even though there is nothing wrong with it and the water flows fine. I think she seems to think that it doesnt flow fast enough for her. I am trying to find another type of water bottle, what other types are out there?

I have seen 3 other types so far, but im not sure exactly how the rabbit is supposed to get water out of it?

Here are the links of the 3 i found. Please let me know if there are other types too.

i've had the second one, it didn't last two minutes.

the third one, i haven't seen before. does it allow the buns to lap the water up from a small dish-like area? mine would like that. they like a small bowl.

i use glass ones with ducks in from p@h. just bought another today. my bunnies like these the best so far.
 
I use a John Hopwell one too but my girls love a good gulp from their bowls which are 59p from Home Bargains (the brown pot ones that say rabbit on them).
 
You might want to try one of these big bottles:

Exactly the same design as the classic water bottles, but they are a lot bigger and the ball piece is bigger so they can get more water at once.

I have them inside the hutch as it was the only thing I could find that you could screw the fixing onto wood. The buns seem to find them easy enough to use, although I do also provide a bowl in the run.
