Frozen water bottles and bowls

Fleecey socks over bottle and a ping pong ball in bowls. The problem with bottles is the metal spout so I have put a small bowl of snow in for mine so they still have water if the bottle freeze.

:D

Wow, what a great idea! Fluffy socks on the bottles and a bowl of snow it is! Just have to choose carefully and avoid where my dogs have peed :?
 
I've been putting glycerin in the water and socks on top and so far it seems to have worked. About 2 tsp to a litre of water.

I still think it is a really bad idea to deliberately give rabbits snow to eat, it can dangerously lower their body temperature plus it is full of impurities :?
 
Snugglesafes under water bowl doesn't work for me -still frozen! :(

Surely it's better than putting glycerine in the water bottles:shock: (which I would never do)
I have only given them a very little bit that hasn't been touched by humans or other animals.

Surely normal tap water has impurities in it as well as lots of extra minerals left over from sewer treatment?

I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, just interested in your view :)

I have given mine a little bit of snow...as the bottle is freezing every hr and half, wouldn't want them to de- hydrate from 12midnight -7/8am :?
 
Can i ask what glycerin is please?

I have put a sock around mine and its not helped, the ball in the drinker part keeps freezing up if that makes sense???

So are we using snow or not?? lol

Thanks :D
