Hi All,
This is my first post, so apologies if I am posting in the wrong forum. We recently received a rabbit from a friend of our neighbors. Apparently she rescued the rabbit from the street and was looking for someone to give. We have chickens in our backyard so decided to take care of this rabbit as well.
Our biggest problem so far has been to get our rabbit accustomed to drink water from a rabbit waterer we purchased. It is a nipple based system. I've attached a picture below. He just doesn't seem to understand that he can drink water from that. Assuming that he would drink water from the waterer, I didn't leave any other water source around. When I checked it out in the evening not a single drop was drunk from the waterer (I immediately provided water in a bowl and he drank it heavily).
So how I am supposed to accustom our rabbit drink from the waterer?
Thanks for any help,
Oguz
