Zoe keeps flipping her food and water bowls!

[Zoe The Continental Giant]

So I’ve had Zoe for about 2 months. She’s a very sweet girl, but she keeps flipping her bowls!! She currently has an elevated bowl sort of thing, yet she manages to tilt it far enough to flip. If anyone has any tips, that would mean the world to me, as it is VERY difficult to have to clean her play area every day. Also, I added a picture for the heck of it lol.

She is so cute I love her! For my one rabbit we have this food bin that attaches to the bars of her cage so she can’t flip it. If she doesn’t have a cage maybe buy a smaller one to keep her food in if you want to use a bin. I use water bottles for my one and the other doesn’t flip her dish but maybe use a heavy bowl that isn’t too big. Best of luck!

Just use bowls that twist onto a clamp. They can't be tipped or spilled. They can be used for water and for food pellets. Should be available at any petstore or online.

Aaah... I found the photo with different types of such bowls...

Thank you!! I’ll be sure to try this!

My bun also used to flip his water. It drove me crazy! Any droppings on the floor would disintegrate, and it would be such a mess.

I also use a twist on bowl that attaches to the cage, but make sure it’s one that’s easy to remove for refilling twice a day. In the store, there were some that were hard to use.

I use a binder clip and clip the bin to the wire panel.
