freezing water

[dab_20]

the rabbits do fine. we will prolly move the other one's in the tack room once our new goat is ready to be moved with the other goats. (cuz the goat is in the tack room) then it will be much warmer. but until then, any ideas?

They have things, like at tractor supply, that go under water and warm it. Depending on what you have for water, maybe an aquarium heater would work just as well. Circulation/aeration helps as well.

I would just simply wrap an old cloth or towel around the water bottle. Providing that your rabbits don't nibble it, it will insulate the water inside it. The frozen water could also break the bottle so it's best to avoid freezing at all times.

ok thanks. i use water bottles, so i will try the cloth thing.

Try a pinch or 2 of salt in the water. That'll prevent it from totally freezing up. That's what I do with Fluffy and Midnight's water.

hmm ok. and salt wont hurt them?

Definitely invest $20 ni a heated water bowl. I know they have some at animal specialty stores like PetCo
