I switched mine from bottle to bowl. I put the bowl right under the bottle so they would know it was there. I left it that way for a week and then took the bottle away on a night that I could stay up and watch them. They drank from the bowl right in front of me right away. They are fine.
Water Bowl Advice?
Due to the overwhelming thoughts on bottles vs. bowls, I am trying to get Winston to drink from a bowl. I was watching him last night, and he went up to the bowl, had a lick or two, then drank out of the bottle. Before I went to bed I marked the water level on the bottle and it looks like he was drinking out of that instead of the bowl.
All of the threads I found in searching indicated people having a "no issues" switch to the bowl, so I am wondering if I should just take the bottle out? If I do and he doesn't like the bowl how long do I wait to put the bottle back in? It seems like when given both options the bottle is the one he chooses, so should I just not give him an option?
