Do they immediately know to drink out of bowls after spending their life on bottles? :wave:

i think they generally get used to pretty quick as its a natural way for them in the wild. you could always try it for a few days and see what happens. my last rabbits had bottles but we would leave a bowl in the garden which they drank from

we used to have them on the run, but have since got different bottles, so we've made a little holder for the inside of the shed.

I dont have a shed, but I do use one of these in my guinea pigs hutch (smaller one). They are very good!

Mine use a bowl aswell. I think they find them much easier to drink from than a bottle. Sometimes they put their front paws in the water while they are drinking - so cute.

My buns have an aviary run attached to their shed so I put the water bottles on the mesh on the run. They have access to it 24 hours. :wave:

My buns have a hutch inside their shed.I lock them in at night.My head cant cope with the fact that they are out all night with no supervision.

So, (I digress) mine have a bottle attached to the door of the hutch which is open....they hop over and slurp as and when.

Rabbits drink water from bowls naturally.:wave: My rabbits all drink out of bowls. They also get more water that way.
