Using Rubber Bowls for Rabbit Waterers in the Winter:

     As we live in North-Eastern Washington, Our Autumn and Winter weather gets below freezing. Now, water bottles are convenient when the weather is warmer, but when things start freezing, they just don't work. (Unless you have the money to heat them, which we don't).

     We used to use plastic or metal water bowls, but they would just get dented and break. Rubber bowls do not dent or break, and it is easy to remove ice from them. Now, chewing the rubber bowls can be a problem with the rabbits, but as long as they are properly fed, watered, and entertained, I have found that it is not a problem.
