Warm/Hot Water

Bit of a stupid question :oops: but are rabbits able to drink hot/warm water from a hot tap?

Figured I'd ask on the off chance it is ok since my two water bottles froze last night at the bottom :(
 
The best thing to do is wrap the water bottle up in something like bubble wrap to insulate it, or you can buy specially made water bottle covers.
 
You're right, I should have googled to find that out first :)

I'll try some bubble wrap around the bottles tonight instead.
 
Warm water will freeze faster (for some reason that I can't explain :lol:).

I give my buns warm water though, but never from the hot tap (since it probably contains all sorts of nasties from the water tank) - I add a splash of hot water from the kettle to a bowl of cold water. :)

I do this too, they love it a little warmer.:D
 
I also give mine warm water and they drink loads of it (more than average), so I think it does warm them up.
 
I always give them it during a moult too as they definitely drink more when it is room temp rather than cold from the tap.
 
Yep, it's definitely a good way to make sure they drink more. :thumb: Alfie and Bubbles have their breakfast in the morning and then sit waiting by the water bowl for a top up. :lol::lol:

Has got to do with the moleculs in the warm water. Because the density changes, so the warm water freezes faster. But's that's all I know... The rest is scientific stuff...
