Water bottle questions

[SeramaMamaM]

I’ve put up a rabbit bottle water bottle for my 2 seramas with 4 two week old babies, and haven’t seen them using it. I’ve read several threads saying they figure it out easily, but how can I tell? It’s in the 80s every day, I know they can’t go without water. Help!

Have you tried holding the chicks and gently pressing their beak into the nipple? I've had to do that with a few, it can also help to gently squeeze the bottle to force a drop of water out. They get the hang of it pretty quick, that's all I use for my babies.
