The bottle and nozzle can go in the top rack of the dishwasher. You can use dishwasher detergent or not. Either way, rinse both parts well after they come out then refill with clean water. Alternatively, you can use a pipe cleaner or find a small wire brush in the local hardware or home improvement store.

You may want to consider putting a bowl of water in his cage and see if he will drink from that as well. Also the ball in those bottles can become difficult to push back and may not seem broken but may be too tough for the bunnies tongue to manipulate. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

It may be stress or boredom. Hamsters need to chew to keep their teeth filed down. Provide a variety of chew toys and hides to keep her busy. A wheel is good for exercise as are tunnels that she can move through.

Hi there! Storm can drink out of a water bowl no problem. I have two rabbits, and even when we are camping they drink out of their water bowls. I find this is cleaner and easier than dealing with dripper bottles that always leak. The key is you need a very heavy, crockery-type bowl that can't be dumped over--this works best. And make sure you change the water at least every other day. Have fun--buns are the best! PS if you insist on using the bottle, he will absolutely figure it out sooner or later :).

Every rabbit is different, as long as she has fresh water available to her and she is eating well and looks healthy, I would not worry overly as she must be drinking enough to maintain herself. If you feed greens she will drink less. I would provide her with both a nipple drinker and bowl of water as some rabbits prefer either or.
