Frosted Rabbits
Well-known member
well, before I wound up in the hospital and nursing homes a little over a year ago (time flies)I had ordered some founts to try--hoping to see if I could integrate them into a self watering system. These founts fit pop bottles--So I decided to try them today--
Sadly, unless I can find a way to hold the bottles real still-- they are currently a bust for rabbits-- the bottle sits on the fount top, which is very narrow-- All four bottles -- the rabbits had pulled on the fount and pulled it off the bottle. I have a 'design' in my head, so I can possibly build something to hold the bottles, and prevent bunnies from dismantling the set up- but what I thought would be a great way to keep larger amounts of water available to the bunnies in a way that they could drink deeply, has been thwarted--
the use of the founts would have addressed several problems--easy to get at water for kits and adults, small enough no kit could possibly drown, water stays clean-like in a regular water bottle, Pop bottles are inexpensive and can be frozen more readily without fear of cracking. Fount fits small and large bottles- so good for travel cages when not moving, as well as for full sized cages at home.
