This is also very handy when we travel by car, I can take water and not worry about it getting spilled.

To train them to the bottle just put a small amount of Nutri-cal on the tip after filling it, when they lick the tip they get water...TAA-DAA
We use the rabbit bottle too, it's great for road trips, no spillage, and living in Arizona, even a short trip in the summer can leave you dehydrated.
