How to get my rabbit to use a water bottle instead of a bowl?

Question

I tried introducing his water bottle but he only uses his bowl so I stopped with the bottled or a while now, how can I teach him to use it? Thanks. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 23 days old

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 :).
