++Hi,
Please make sure the bottle is working properly
(the ball can get stuck in the stem of the bottle
and so the best thing is to put your finger through
the wire and push on the ball to make sure it is working.
Sometimes when you invert the bottle and cannot hear
the ball fall into place, hitting the bottle with your
hand can get the ball to lodge into place. Also, make
sure the bottle is the 500ml one at least, not one of
the smaller ones that dont seem to work so well).
You can try smearing a little bit of rasberry cordial
(diluted of course) on the ball of the bottle.
Also, some rabbits prefer a bowl so leave both bottle
and bowl and if bunny wants a tray to poop in, leave
bunny a tray. If you dont have room for a tray, try
a pot plant saucer (medium to large) and put some droppings
in so she gets the idea.
Hope this helps,
Marguerite
