I purchased one of these - https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...-heated-water-bottle-for-rabbits?cm_vc=-10005 - for my quail and installed it a few weeks back. I will be plugging it in once the nighttime temps are consistently below freezing. So far at night they've only hovered around the freezing mark, and only gone below 0 C on a couple of occasions, but this week's temperature trend is going steadily down.
The problem is that they aren't used to nipple-type waterers; they been drinking from a standard mason jar with a screw-on base waterer up until now.
I'm trying to figure out how to get them to try the new waterer, but am not sure how to encourage them. Any ideas?
