Hi,
When I got my two rabbits a couple of weeks ago, the owner said that Leon won't drink from a water bottle, and that both rabbits like a drop of orange in their water. I didn't ask if she meant orange drink or orange juice, but don't worry, I'm not going to give them orange squash or anything!
So I tried the male with a water bottle but he didn't use it, so I gave him a bowl, but he doesn't seem to drink much anyway, and that worries me on hot days, especially since he is black. Would it be ok to give him a few drops of orange juice in the water, or would that be bad for their teeth? I would probably use a processed, juice from concentrate, since I'm not going to bother getting/making fresh juice, sorry bunnies
The female drinks her water fine. Also, any tips to get him to use a water bottle? The bowl is annoying because it gets wood shavings in it all the time. Someone said to cut a raisin in half, and rub the raisin juice on the bottle so I think I will try that. I have to buy a new bottle first though cos my baby guinea pig cos Leon's one!
Thanks guys
