Can I wash my pet's water bottle and nozzle in the dishwasher?

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.

My rabbit won't drink from his bottle. How to prevent dehydration?

Got pet care questions? Bird bonding, cage size, heating, and litter?

Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

How do I set up my new rabbit cage and what goes on the bottom?
