Water nipples

[BJ37]

Getting ready to order some water nipples for my chickens. While I'm at it, would also like to get some for rabbits. In researching, it appears there is a difference between the ones for rabbits and chickens. What is the difference, and is it important, if so in what ways? Are some acceptable for both? There are big price differences between them, and also between the ones for the same animal. Will rabbits chew on the ones made with plastic, or should I use brass ones? What good and bad experiences have you had? TNX.

We got our poultry nipples from Amazon and absolutely love them. They were less than $2 a piece IIRC. The only experience I have with rabbit nipples included the bottles, the kind you can get at Walmart.

I use the kind made for rabbits that you get at Wal-Mart and Tractor Supply. It works fine

Hi Quail Keeper: What various animals have you used them on?

Quail, chicks, chickens. I haven't got around to testing it on ducks yet. I am sure there is some way to attach the tops of the bottles to pipes and make a system of water nipples.
