I am so tired of the cold! *bbbrrr* It would be fine if I didn’t ever have to go outside, unfortunately I do.
Our rabbit watering system has been great until it gets under say 20 degrees. Since the barrel itself will freeze. Making the water spouts empty :/ leaving the rabbits without water. Which leaves me packing 2 liters back and forth throughout the day. Making all the work we put into the system (we even wrapped the pipes in heat tape to PREVENT freeze) basically useless!
So here comes yet ingenious another plan. We decided we need something to keep the barrel from freezing. We looked into several different de-icers ranging from uses on the farm, in ponds and for dog bowls. They were either a)to expensive or b)the wrong size/temp. So here it is…the big idea…we are going to rig up a no freeze dipstick from a diesel truck *L* think it will work? I’ll let you know. We bought the dipstick and drilled the hole but as I said before the barrel is frozen so we can’t install it until it thaws out. I’ll keep ya’ll updated on the project :)
