[@WalkerFarmFam]

We can’t wait to try this with our rabbits! Gonna make life so much easier 💪🏻👊🏻 We love that you never know what to expect on your change. Lots of subjects. Lots of DIY’s. And lots of fun! Thanks guys!!

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Haha! Life is like a box of chocolates around here... 😄😂

[@unclejudetv898]

Nice, am so happy for this tutorial, thank you so much sir. Maybe I will start to buy rabbit. This is Mike Jude from Philippines

[@virginiareid5336]

Great system that delvers fresh clean water to each rabbit.

Great job on the "How To" video. Explained it like a professional. It's amazing how a little work can simplify things and make it much easier in the long run. The older I get, the easier things need to be, regardless of what it may be. Y'all have a great day!!!

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Thank you Kevin! And you’re exactly right! 👍😀

[@starlenekalinski5633]

Nice video. When the West Nile Virus came into the USA, I was the “chicken lady “ and I revamped the chicken cages and designed a water system for the chickens because we only went out to the sights twice a week. The chicken watered were little cups with a little yellow thing that they pecked at to get the water. That is a great system. I would put 3 capfuls of bleach to the 5 gallon bucket of water and it would last 6 chickens for a week without them running out. I love your videos.

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

That’s awesome!! I always wondered the ratio of bleach to a 5 gallon bucket of water, and now I know. Thanks! 😀

[@nancyinnevada2785]

I LOVE TO SEE THE BABY GOATS JUMPING AROUND !!!!!

Wish we had known about this years ago. Helped with the rabbits and that would have helped so much. My son had about 100 rabbits at one time. God bless you from Michigan

[@done9548]

I like watching your videos. I built a cage and watering system for my rabbits following your tutorial and it works amazingly! I'm disabled and the watering system helps saves so much time and effort. Thank you for making your videos.

[@GDName]

Great demonstration. Great system.

[@armidaperez5360]

Lol i clicked on saw jacob didn't reconize him i thought i got another channel clicked again it was him i guess t-shirt threw me..great tip! Those kids are getting so big...

[@SandyGrace_FeatheredFriends]

Jason Crocker sent me over. I am glad you are helping him. You guys are awesome. The first video I watched was on the rabbit watering system. I am very interested in this for maybe doing something like this for my cockatiels. Doing the water sometimes takes us over an hour. I hand wash every water dish and when you have 32 cages to do it is a lot. I don’t know if this is even possible for birds but at least it is making me think a little different, out of the box so to speak. So thank you for being a good friend to Jason and thanks for helping me think out side the box, or in my case, thinking outside the cage... Sandy from Weeki Wachee Florida. And now I am a new subscriber.

I'm glad this video could help you out sandra. Thank you for coming over.

[@darlenedouglas5148]

I'd love to see your hay feeder when you get it done thank you Robin

[@chelemichele1524]

😆 I was thinking wonder if the rabbits ever chewed on the tubing..and poof you answered... Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Lol. Weird how that happens... 😄

[@sylhunt8230]

You could spray paint it black. This is a cool setup.

[@lindanichols7296]

Great video you guys. I’ve noticed that everything you do regardless if it’s gardening, goats,cooking, or rabbits, it’s always so informative and you are so neat and everything looks nice and clean and organized as well. I don’t have any animals ,well we have a cat, and a small garden but I love learning and watching others that do have them . You guys are great , I love watching and never miss a video, I don’t always comment, but I do watch . Keep up the wonderful work you both do. God Bless and be safe.💕👍

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Thank you! 😊

[@DJ2CM]

Hi guys great video as always . I don't have animals to use this for but I have a suggestion 🤔 instead of using black plastic for the bucket ---> Because it may cause it to heat up. Use an insulation material such as reflectix . Just my 2 cents worth . Its your plan your way . Thanks for sharing 👍 stay safe happy and smiling 😀 !!🇨🇦 Craig

[@sammijay1072]

Love this idea would I line the bucket outside or inside? also what about the water warming up in the tubing?

[@DJ2CM]

@@sammijay1072 Hi I think cover the outside of the bucket and get a space blanket a cut in stripes and cover the tubing as far as you can ( if the tubing runs along wood just staple over them for cover ) I have used these two things to keep heat in and out of my off road Tent trailer and it worked awesome. I hope it will do the same for you 😉 Craig

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Great how to video!!! Stay safe!

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Thank you! 😀

[@mbraddock84]

Love it! Such a simple but brilliant idea; I can't wait to get something like this set up.

Another great video👍 and Jacob I usually think of grooves with tires and threads with screwing things on 🤣👍 anyway you keep me laughing while you share your knowledge 👍

Oki gator I don't know why it is so hard for me to say threds lol.

[@okigator1579]

Sawyer Ridge Farm I hope you know every rash comment I make is just in fun if I was there with you I would still say them to your face and everyone would be laughing 😂 and you would find something smart to say about me😂

Can always cover tubes with pvc or something like that

Great idea Jacob, it can be apply to other small animal. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless.

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Yes, that’s true!

[@TheGypsyandtheVanillaGorilla]

Thanks for sharing, love this idea.

[@ChickasawScot]

That system would be amazing with a rain catchment barrel!

[@splitarrowfarm]

This was great! It looks like a lot of the Amazon links dont exist but I am going to try and recreate!

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

I checked them and they are all working good for me. Sorry if they’re not for you.

[@cindykrou]

Could you add a washer on the inside and outside of the flute with a nut on the inside as well so no silicone needed and instant use??

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Possibly, but I’m not exactly sure. We’ve never tried that method before. The silicone really seals it up good to ensure no leaks, so I would always go with that if it were me. But you could give it a try.

[@dr.suzettelyn6839]

Great video

[@bagoking1]

You could also use an O ring to seal the connector at the bucket

[@danielleterry180]

Once again thank you I am doing this just like my cages you taught how to make will save time as those water bottles are a pain 😁 I just received my door guards and door latches today so tomorrow my Houdini won’t be getting out lol thank you for telling me who sold them

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Your welcome danielle glad our video could help yall

[@danielleterry180]

Sawyer Ridge Farm what demention did you build your nesting box?

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

@@danielleterry180 I cant remember off the top of my head. I just googled search what other boxes are. Do make sure your door is big enough for your boxes to get through.

[@faithbuller4086]

Nice tips, thanks

[@earthvisitor01]

ty very interesting enjoy your video in uk

[@rickjones2534]

I like how everyone is showing there freedom stick since this virus broke out

[@donaldroyer4618]

I use the same system but didn't know about the black tubing so I have some work to do. I am trying to find a system that I can hook directly to the pressurized water line. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Great video!

[@mickisix9092]

Have you tried connecting directly to a hose bib? That bucket connector is the right size. My dad used a similar system for his birds but he connected it to a hose bib. Constant supply, no bucket.

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

Cheeky rabbit at the end!

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

I know right?! 😂😄

[@littlecrutchfarms348]

Great video! By chance do you know what the max psi that these nipples can handle? I am trying to do a similar setup, but with it connected to a water spigot.

[@PaullaWells]

Well done! Dang that wind for stepping on your toes. 😁 I remember it was toward the end of fall I think that you took your first system down which was not long after you started YT. Made me a little nostalgic. Time will fly now and you'll be at a year before you know! Congratulations! I like the new editing skills by the way! I think the music you selected is the same as what Kevin and Rachel use though. 😉 One question I have is and I keep forgetting to ask is about their bedding. Do they care to have that or do they seem to prefer open air? I only ask because aren't rabbits traditionally burrowers? Would that like the ability to do so or is it something they do in the wild out of self defense? Just a curiosity thing.

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

They like to have the bedding it keeps there baby's warm and safe. Thank you for your support paulla

[@yvonnelubman7197]

Thank you 🙏🏻 good ideas

[@webthing2046]

Thank you Roberta

[@ShaneZettelmier]

At the end where you folded it and put a zip tie him to seal it off instead of buying a TV you can just buy a 90° piece there so you don’t have to worry about the end. If you ever want to expand you just pop that out and throw a T in there. Also using a blue or black bucket would help with the algae growth anytime sun hits water you’re going to have stuff growing in it so if you can keep it dark you’re good but if you build a stand with a box or a cover over it that keeps the sun off the bucket also so it doesn’t get too hot in the summer. Also if you put the lid on the bucket cut out a little hole and put some screen over it that will keep the bugs out

[@kelleymoon8191]

Thanks for sharing videos, curious on your feeders your using, do you have any issues with wildlife getting into them?

[@dorothysmith6710]

Love 💕 this thank you 🙏

[@rexhavoc2982]

What did you do with the rain water off the barn roof? I used a toilet tank with the fill float instead of a bucket.

[@Matt-ty6hp]

Great video, y'all! I've tried something similar with our chickens, but they keep breaking it.

[@ndizeyekanumaalain631]

Hello sir. Thx for this video but i have one question. Bunnies can also drink water by using this system (this kind of drinker )

Thank you! And yes, we have have a whole playlist of things to do with our meat rabbits. We have a 2 part video on how to build the rabbit cages we use.

[@faithbuller4086]

Sawyer Ridge Farm I didn’t see a “I” bubble at the top to link to another video. I will look it up and hopefully find it. Thanks

[@TechTheRedneck]

This system looks greta, great job and video! Two questions, this system.would freeze in the winter correct? Do you have a freeze proof way of doing this?

[@keithshumaker6402]

God Bless everyone stay safe

[@sammijay1072]

Hi brilliant Vlog I will be making one of these. How much ACV do you put in your 5ltr buckets?

[@vichaven1795]

I use to raise pidgeons (meatbirds) and I kept their water system charged with an old toilet resevoir. I neverhad to touch any thing except for once a month to clean it out. I had 3000 birds.

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

That's alot of birds Vic lol

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Do you make separate systems for the hutches on the other side not connected to the big main hutch?

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Right now we’re just using water bottles on that side because we are about to be building more cages like the ones in the long row. But we will eventually do the same on that side too. 🙂

[@julieb9215]

For the hose fitting that goes on the bucket, I wonder if you could just wait until the new threads cool, remove the piece, wrap with plumbers teflon tape & screw it back in & save having to use any silicone?

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Possibly could, we’ve never tried it that way, but it may work.

[@karenkaren390]

How are you keeping it from freezing in the winter? Is it enough to keep the bucket flowing or does it freeze at the nipple?

[@gingerreid8569]

We have four rabbits (2 doe/2 buck) and set up this water system last year...works great! yeah, replace nipples some times...question: how much ACV do you put in the 5 gallon bucket? Our does kindled last night and we are graced with 6-7 kits each - we didn't count perfect as it's cool and rainy here...but all are covered in lots of fur and wiggly...We have 5 grow outs that are ready for processing...maybe tomorrow if the weather is better, along with two extra roosters we do not need. Great video!

[@SawyerRidgeFarm]

Thanks! And that’s awesome! Congrats on the kits! And for the ACV, honestly we just kinda eyeball it. We make our own, so it’s not as strong as the store bought stuff. But if I were guessing, it’s probably around 1/4 cup for a 5 gallon bucket. Give or take.
