    Great waterer and feeder

    I have not had a problem with cleaning. Algae needs light to grow so in a solid pipe not a problem. I could unscrew the water cups and flush out if I needed to. Thanks Todd

    Nipple vs. cup waterers and auto fill

    The cups only get enough water in the bottom for them to drink. They do not fill up like when you hold them. I had the same fear but they get water.

    Nipple vs. cup waterers and auto fill

    Never have a problem. However I am not that worried about it. The drink out of the mud, dogs dish and eat under the rabbit cages so not sure a little stain in a drinking cup will hurt them.

    Nipple vs. cup waterers and auto fill

    Great waterer and feeder

    The feeder was made from a 4 inch drain pipe and 1 elbow with 1 cap for the top. The holes were made big enough so they could get their head in but, not there feet (If they get feet in they will pull all the feed out) The holes were drilled slightly of center of top yo help keep rain out. I...

    Nipple vs. cup waterers and auto fill

    Mine are always empty. When the want a drink they go poke around and water comes out and they drink it. There is never more that a very small amount in the bottom of the cup. I have had mine up for over a year now. zero problems.
