Any Rabbit Breeders/Owners Here at BYC?

Do they have any bedding? Also, you should really have them drinking from a water bowl.

I've used water bottles for years and that's what I plan to always use. Mine won't even drink from bowls. So you can stick with the bottles.

I guess but I just think it’s better for them, because it can cause issues just like chickens with nipple waters.

Twice a week?! You need to do it once a day.

Like remove all the hay and throw it away? Because I put fresh hey every day.

While they can survive with bottles, they drink more with bowls so their hydration is better. They need to be allowed to drink from bowls from babyhood to understand it. It's not a life or death issue, but it is healthier for those who can manage it.

Yes, completely change it once a day.

They’re doing well! We’ve changed the setup a bit and we are taking CottonTail in for his first vet exam in about 3 weeks! Here’s a picture I took of him while he was yawning!

I’ve been doing It wrong. I use the pine pellets in the bottom and change the box once a week. 2 rabbits, 2 boxes.

It's okay! It's not hard to change routine's. What breed of bunnies do you have?
