Water bowls

What is with my strange bunnies? They refuse to drink out of anything but a water bowl, which is fine, so I always make sure they have 2 in their run. Except for some reason they'll only drink out of one, till it's completely dry, but won't touch the other. And it's not even always the same one! :shock: Bizarre behaviour....
 
Must be! Can't see any other reason for it - mad bunnies! :lol: I had to top up an empty bowl a while ago, leaving a completely full one, and they acted like they'd been deprived of water! :shock:
 
mine completely ignore their bowl and drink from the bottle :? I think I can understand Storm not drinking from the bowl anymore as his ears flop into the water :lol: :lol: but gypsy doesn't have this problem and still preferes the bottle :?
 
:lol: :lol: My girls are picky about their water aswell, they used to only drink out of one bottle even though they had two and now they only drink out of their bowl. :roll: Strange rabbits! :lol:
 
Oscar spent a few weeks only drinking from a bowl now he's gone back to his bottle, the silly bunny!
My babies like a bowl of water with ice in it but only to paddle in and then get mum wet when they flick the water off!
I think it depends on what mood the bunny is in to what they drink from the silly things hehehe!!!

FlopsyJR drinks out of a bowl, purposley dipping her ears in :lol: :roll:
 
This bemuses me too!

Alfred has 2 bottles, and a bowl, will only drink out of bottle if really thirsty, and then only the one upstairs. I put an extra bowl out but wouldn't touch it...

Very strange behaviour!

Although just taken the bowl out and he is now drinkign quite happily out of the bottle - but only the upstairs one!

Hmm!
