I'd like to know what brand of water bottle you all use for your rabbits? Cos I think mine is a bit difficult for my bunny to drink. Maybe the nozzle is too small for her mouth. I actually dunno what brand mine is, cos it's not written on the bottle. I got my bottle free from a fren. I was thinking of changing to ferplast cos the nozzle is much more broad. But can you all tell me what brand you are using? I know lixit is quite a good brand too. I'm using that for my chins.

I am using LIXIT too. Puppy>> you bought that drinking kit that can use your own bottle type huh. Last time I saw I din buy. Early this year I wanted to buy no more already. But got the bigger one for dog, so I don think can use on rabbits. I don like ferplast oso. I find that the ball bearing is a bit too inward and difficult for bunny to lick. I personally find that not too comfortable for bunny. Clover >> if the nozzle too small, the water flow will be quite slow. My bunnies got so fustratated with the the small nozzle, they keep pushing the bottle up and let go to shake the water out.  . So I change to bigger one. |

I think that yes, the nozzle is really too small and it takes a lot of effort for her to drink from it. I've switched one of my other pet's bottle to her, it's a normal ferplast bottle. The nozzle is very broad. Luckily, Bunbun took to it well and started drinking from it easily. She didn't pull on the nozzle, cos that was what she used to do. And the water came out easily. For now, as long as it works, I'll put her on ferplast. If it becomes faulty, I'll change bottle brands again. Yeah, I think lixit is not bad, but it's also not cheap. I dun really face a problem of it leaking much.  Where to buy the drinking kit size for rabbits? I saw the dog one also, too big. I didn't see any other size one. |

Ya, I agree. This Lixit bottle easily leak. Must have tactic to refill water leh. For me, after refilling water and screw back the cap, I press my finger on the nozzle then I turn the bottle over. This way, it somehow control the pressure inside the bottle lor. I think there is this instruction on the packaging. Tuffy Buff>> your bunny oso huh.  |

I'm using Lixit, DY2 (the type for dogs that puppy was referring to), Ferplast, and crown... the DY2 stocks are running quite low, but I think I still have stock lor... Those who wanna order , let me know. Think the price is about $12.50, maybe else where cheaper... not sure...  Crown type I use for my NDs, the bigger bunnies get to use DY2, and only have 1 Ferplast bottle...  |

the drinking kit is just nice for my bunnies... but the amount of water that comes out MIGHT be A BIT too much for young bunnies. but no need worry 1 'cause they know how to prevent it. |

I WANT TO WATCH AGAIN!!!! OH YA... all those who intend to go simei east point mall to watch 'nemo' hor, try to avoid the cinema 'cause geraldo did mention that her kids will laugh very loud... that time i go hor, also got kids but they very quiet. think they dun really get what the show is saying. so go there see picture only. but certain parts, they really laugh lah. but hor, adults laugh more and louder than kids. me VERY GOOD example. enjoy ur show...  |
