  My bunny continuously uses his water bottle to wet the space just above his nose/between his eyes. He takes a few sips and then runs that spot of his face over the spout. He does this over and over, and so often that it is starting to make his head stink a little! I’m always trying my best to dry it off! Anyone know why he is doing this?

  That might be an attempt to get water out. I’ve been told of studies that show rabbits drink less water out of a bottle than a bowl because more effort is required + neck strain in order to get water out of a bottle than just leaning over and drinking out of a bowl. Have you considered switching the bottle with a water bowl?
