I'll post this while I remember, have been meaning to post this for the last few days.

What does your bunny prefer to drink from a bottle or bowl?

Or what do you use?


About a month ago, I put some water in a bowl and put it on the floor. He drinks from the bowl more times then his water bottle.
 
Some of mine prefer bowls, some prefer bottles :) Lottie and George have both as Lottie drinks from a bowl, george from a bottle :lol:
 
Bungle has a bottle, Strawbs has both and Snow just a bowl as she is in our room and keeps me up all night rattling the bottle!
 
Up until a few days ago I was a bottle user but they kept breaking them! Now I use a bowl and I've not really had any problems apart from my big girl tipping it and getting a bath!! :lol:
 
Bowls are apparently meant to encouage them to drink more. I use bowls with my single & pair, & the group has one bottle & several bowls
 
Mostly bottles. Although if Barney is having a stasis episode give him a bowl as he seems to prefer it, drinks lots, and then tips the rest at me. :) I can't give the rest bowls, though, as they knock them over and end up with a wet hutch, and one of them likes to sit in his bowl of water if there is one...!
 
Squidgy, Salt and Pepper use both, Daisy-Boo and Pippin only use a bowl.
I think the nethies like 'playing' with the bottles, as they lick away at them for ages (very noisily too!), but it seems when they want a proper drink they use their bowls.
 
Mine have both, but I think Nora prefers the bottle and Walter prefers the bowl...just to be difficult!
 
bowls here also, i remembered when i took locks for his neuter on monday to say please can he havea water bowl, my bunnies prefer it that way :lol:

rosie doesn't have a clue what one is :oops: :lol: neither did mowgli :lol:
 
Ezi Filler bottles. I don't like bowls for lops (especially as Frenchies have long ears.) Don't think it's very healthy for them to constantly have wet ears.
 
We got our 3 babes because we were watching them in the pet shop struggling to drink from a bottle, I also read that it actually hurts their little bunny tongues to get water out. When I brought them home, they drank 3 bowls of water within the first couple of hours of them being here. Some buns have been brought up on them so are used to them but I would at least say, give them both, however, I would not give my buns bottles at all
 
I use a bottle for all three of mine.

All off mine play with their food bowls by tipping the food out then throwing it around, so I can guarentee this would happen to the water bowl.

My youngest drank out of the dogs bowl :shock::shock: when he first come to me, (luckily I had just took the bowl out of the dishwasher and put fresh water in) then sat in it.

So I dont think bowls would overally work for me.
