can i use this

 I was wondering if i can use this  for my rabbits. http://www.petco.com/product/106300/PETCO-Ultra-Cat-Waterer.aspx

Yes, you can.  Be aware that the reservoir won’t prevent food, hay, litter, fur or poop from being kicked into the water, so it would still have to be cleaned out/ refilled at least once or twice a day like with a regular crock.  If stuff getting into the water bowl is a concern, you can also use water bottles (altho some rabbits will only accept crocks) or a smaller crock that atteches to the side of the cage or pen.

I wonder how prone it is to being knocked over. My two would make a tossing toy out of it and water would be everywhere if it’s not secured to something.

I have something similar to that – when there is water in it it is usually heavy enough that it won’t tip over. I really like using these because i can go 3-4 days before having to change the water. It would probably last longer but usually a bunny poop gets kicked in it by then!

I had something similar to this, and my bunnies are just too messy – always got hay in there even though i set hay a couple of feet away. So I ended up changing everyday which then defeats the purpose. I think it would work great as long as you have it strategically placed.

I see nothing wrong with this, it seems safe and it all depends on your bunny of course!

I have one. It’s a godsend! I bought it when I had to leave overnight, and now I’m thinking I need another-Kahlua and Rupert use one, and Chuck only needed a bowl but now with Noot I think I’ll buy another one. They do need to be dumped and cleaned about twice a week though, they get bits of fur in them. But they are so heavy my bunnies don’t even try to move them!
