frozen bottles

My rabbits get frozen bottles every morning they get so thirsty but when there is water they do not drink so the next morning no water has gone so they are gasping after then and then there are two of them so they are fighting over it what do i do?
 
I use insulated ones, they help a little. I also change my bottles last thing at night and then first thing in the morning. I also provide them with a bowl, it takes longer for the water in the bowl to freeze because it's plastic rather than the metal tip of the bottles
 
You can try putting a few drops of cider vinegar in the bottle. This helps slow the freezing process. Also cut the toes of our OH socks and slide them over the bottle.

When defosting bottles, dont forget the spout.
