Avian Aqua Miser waters rabbits too

Rabbit chilling on a water bottle"Can I use the Avian Aqua Miser with rabbits?"  I get this question in my inbox a lot, and my traditional response has been, "I'm not sure."  I warned rabbit-keepers that I felt the small tip of our chicken nipples might be harsh on a rabbit's tender tongue, but mentioned that we have a no-questions-asked return policy, so if they tried the waterer and it didn't work, they could just send it back.

Our friend Shannon decided to answer the question once and for all.  He's getting into meat rabbits and ran across many of the same issues with keeping his rabbits hydrated that those of us who started out with traditional chicken waterers muddled our way through.  He liked the idea of our chicken waterer and wanted to create a PVC pipe waterer for his rabbits.

You can see Shannon's rabbit watering system here.  Soon after writing that post, his friend Dawn even caught the rabbit drinking on video, proof positive that their furry friends were able to drink from our nipples.  I guess I don't need to be quite so cagey when folks ask me whether the Avian Aqua Miser works for rabbits now.  Thanks for experimenting, Shannon and Dawn!
