Since I don't have an automatic waterline set up for my growout cages, and I'm too busy to fill crocks all day, I came up with this system to provide water to the bunrabs. Both Hubs and I love cobalt blue, so I have been saving these bottles in the hopes of finding a bottle cutter that actually works so I can do something "crafty" with them. But convenience and utility trumped creativity once again... at least the bunny cages are benefiting from the cobalt blue motif!
Edit: Make sure to save the caps or you will lose a lot of water when you invert the bottle into the crock. I kept the cap on and unscrewed it once it was in place.
2nd Edit: It is not easy to see in the photo, but the mouth of the bottle is raised off the floor of the crock by more than an inch- the height of the opening determines the water level. If it were sitting on the bottom (but not forming an air-tight seal), only enough water would leak out to cover the rim of the bottle.
