Hi all,
I am new to rabbits and at this time i have 12 rabbits. I have 4 at this time that wont or can't figure out how to drink from their water bottle. So i have to keep putting in a dish.
I read online a couple of tips so here is what i have tried.
1. Bring them over and hold them there as you push on the stem releasing water so it drips on their nose and they see that water comes out.
2. Took strawberry jelly and spread it on the tip of the bottle. So the way it's supposed to work they smell the sweet jelly go to lick and out comes some water.
I have done both of these and they are not seeming to catch on.
I am looking for other tips and tricks you have had success with.
Thanks all
Sully
