[Jack.308 40]

How do you lads stop you water bottles freezing? I swap them for fresh everymorning but by the time im back from work there froze back up again any ideas appriciated?

what use on my water bottle for my stinker get some rock wool(that itchie insulation) and wrap it around the water bottle then use zip ties to fix it to the cage

wouldnt be able to use the original fixing for the bottle because the bottle becomes thicker by wrapping it in rock wool

hope that hepls

I swap them round, doesnt matter what you wrap them in will still freeze, the metal spout and ball bearing seems to freeze first.

Mine have dog bowls full of water, the big pot ones, they take abit to freeze.

mine is covered with a tarp at night and hasnt frozen yet.

As long as your swapping them over every chance you get a hour or two with out waters no going to harm them , As said the metal spout will still freeze up any way

I usually go out in the yard and piss on them, that thaws them out.

[Brimmer 220]

joke by the way.

put bubble rap around them works every year for me lads

[joe14 98]

Just done mine again. Seems to be at night theyre freezing. Theyre ok through the day, tried bubble wrap and tin foil, spout still froze.

Yeah although the water in the bottle hasn't actually frozen, the water in the spout probably has. The only way, is too change the bottles over as often as you can.

a couple of drops of veg oil in the bottles help

I cover the hutch over if this dont work then cover the bottle with a neoprene cover,or change morning and night,if its cold enough it will freeze..
