How to teach bowl bunnies to drink from a bottle?

Is it possible? I have just renovated the bunnies area and they have gone from one of the P&H bases with puppy pen attached to an area that is completely built with puppy panels. Now that there isn't a place for the water bowl I am worried that they will just knock it over. I think water bottles would be the better idea.....
 
zooplus do a bottle with a bowl on the bottom which I'd highly recommend. Just like using a bowl as far as the rabbits are concerned. :thumb:

If you give them something dry to eat (Hay and pellets nothing fresh), when they've finished put the bottle against their mouths, squeeze it so the tiniest bit and hopefully they'll want a drink and lick the water off of the spout which should make more come out

I've never actually tried this but it could work :lol:
 
Hello Milosmummy haven't seen you for ages.

Mr Bennett refuses to use a bottle and has had a bowl for over a year. I use one of our own bowls from our dinner set and he has never knocked it over. I give the other two a great big measuring jug, as they tend to drink a lot and they have never knocked it over. Occasionally Bandit would put his paw into a regular bowl, but now I give them a measuring jug, he doesn't do that.
