Gravity Fed Rabbit Water Set-Up: The Easy Way To Keep Rabbits Hydrated

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Great job yall, Jeff you did an outstanding job with explanations on what you're doing.

[@HomesteadFresh]

Thanks! It is working out so well, and thank the Lord everyday for Jeff - not sure how I would ever do this without him. Have a great weekend :)

[@MBHeritageFarms]

@@HomesteadFresh I say the same thing about Bobbie, Im not sure how I would do it all without her.

[@homesteadingwithsadie]

wow that should really be helpful with chores

[@HomesteadFresh]

These are working out so well! Super pleased. Appreciate you stopping by and commenting 😊

[@schammond8993]

Just came across this recently. I've wanted to do a pvc system so I saved this video to use for reference. Also I bought the cups and love them. Camille hasn't been able to destroy them yet😅.

[@HomesteadFresh]

Glad we could help! Yes, we finally found cups they can't eat 😄

[@idahofishgamer3560]

I would recommend to change that into a loop that way if you connect a pump and a bucket heater to keep it freez free

[@HomesteadFresh]

Running it in a loop... That is a fantastic idea! Thanks so much😃

[@ajalicea1091]

Try using pool noodles for insulating your pipes. That is what we do here in Georgia

[@HomesteadFresh]

Yes, we explain that is what we were going to do... Not sure if I edited that out of the video - but there is an update video that shows the insulation in the rabbit shelter. We've been using pool noodles on our water catchment for a few years and they work great! Appreciate you stopping by and commenting 😊

Where did you get your waterers from? Do you have a link?

[@HomesteadFresh]

We got them off of Amazon, but you can get them directly through Rent-a-coop. Here is the link to the Amazon ones we purchased: www.amazon.com/RentACoop%C2%AE-Watering-Animals-Chinchilla-Pack/dp/B09ZLTRF5M/ref=asc_df_B09ZLTRF5M/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=647227278427&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12059640502319594569&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9010478&hvtargid=pla-1721775011918&psc=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7uSkBhDGARIsAMCZNJuTrcxQwtEY06ZkHB-y7rbrbAYfGrLqQaRyKFzOzDxLslaepKXLxxYaAm8AEALw_wcB

[@HomesteadFresh]

If you didn't get the link in my comment I just sent, send us an email and I'll send it that way 🙂 Appreciate you following along 😊

[@calvinriggins2213]

Do you have an example of your record keeping of your rabbits?

[@HomesteadFresh]

I keep everything on a spreadsheet. Send me an email, I'm happy to share a bit of what I have when I get a free moment. [e-mail]

[@kimalots9353]

So how are the cups holding up?

[@HomesteadFresh]

They are still going great! We do have an issue with one that the bunny keeps turning sideways, but that's our fault for not anchoring it good enough - but we are fixing it this weekend. We were pleasantly surprised that we had no freezing issues this winter. Love these cups!

[@toneandersen2944]

Do they work in the winter? :)

[@HomesteadFresh]

They absolutely do! We put insulation around the pipes and had also insulated the water container that gravity feeds the waterers, and the sides were down on the shelter as well. Not a single one froze outside of thin sheet of ice on top of the water in their bowls, which we easily just busted loose with our fingers. It was a mild winter this year, but we didn't have any issues last year either. Thanks for stopping by and we're happy to answer any other questions you may have. 😊

[@buckreynolds7475]

Looks good but I would have put on the back

[@HomesteadFresh]

Hmmm... Didn't think of that. We just opted for the front because the nest boxes tend to get pushed back, but I like the idea! Sometimes it just takes a new perspective - thanks so much!

[@buckreynolds7475]

@@HomesteadFresh you are welcome

[@vannfe11]

@@HomesteadFreshthe issue I'd be concerned with would be being able to service them if they're in the back. It'll be more difficult to access.

[@HomesteadFresh]

You are correct! We left them in the front and very happy we did - maintenance on them is so much easier this way😃 Thanks for stopping by and commenting ☺️
