I have a very young angora bunny who has never seen a water bottle before. I would prefer she drink from the bottle instead of a bowl but I don't know how to teach her to do so. When I bred rabbits I started out with adults who used bottles and the babies learned from mom.
Does anyone have any suggestions for teaching her to use a water bottle? I've heard of using molasses for older rabbits but Twist is only 5 weeks old and I'm not sure that is good for such a young bunny.
I know she is very young to be weaned and sold I know but the woman I got her from was going to sell her anyway and was not willing to keep her around any longer. I figured I might as well take her since I know how to care for babies. I just never had to consciously train one to use a water bottle before
