Rabbit Nipple Drinker

Product Overview

This rabbit nipple drinker is an all-plastic body unit shown in two colours on the product photo, white and yellow. Inside the plastic body moves a stainless steel pin, and a separate stainless return spring sits beside it. When a rabbit licks the pin, a small amount of water is released, and the spring closes the valve again. The printed measurements on the image show a length of 5 cm and a weight of 5.8 g per piece, with packing of 100 pieces per bag and 30 bags per export carton. The whole unit is lighter and cheaper than a brass nipple, which makes it a popular choice for new cage projects where budget matters.

The plastic body has a top barb for the drinking hose and a flat cross arm with a hook, used to hang the unit on cage wire or a pipe clamp. Because both white and yellow bodies are shown, farms can colour-code rows: yellow for one section, white for another, making it quick to confirm which style is installed at a glance. The pin itself is the same stainless part found on metal nipples, so the drinking experience for the rabbit is identical even though the body is plastic.

Key Features and Benefits

• All-plastic body - light, low cost and non-corroding in humid sheds.
• Stainless pin and spring - the actual drinking valve stays rust-free and seals reliably.
• 5 cm compact size - fits standard cage fronts without blocking feed access.
• Two colour options - white or yellow bodies let farms colour-code rows or sections.
• Integral hanger hook - the cross arm clips onto cage wire for fast installation.
• Export packing - 100 pieces per bag, 30 bags per carton for convenient freight.

Materials and Quality

The plastic body is injection moulded with a smooth finish and a formed hook on the cross arm. The stainless pin slides inside the plastic bore, and the stainless spring provides the closing force. Plastic of this type is chosen because it does not transfer metal taste and it will not rust even if condensate forms on the outside of the drinker. Each unit is checked for free pin movement before bagging, and the two body colours are produced to the same mould so that spares are interchangeable regardless of colour.

How to Use and Maintain

Push the top barb onto the drinking hose, hook the cross arm onto the cage wire at nose height, and fit the stainless spring so the pin hangs vertical. After installation, flush the line to clear plastic dust from moulding. During weekly maintenance, press each pin by hand to keep the valve free and clear scale from the outlet. Because the body is plastic, avoid using sharp tools when cleaning around the drinker, and replace any unit that shows cracks from bites or cage impact.

Applications

This plastic nipple is the standard choice for new rabbit cage batteries, small to medium rabbitries and hobby breeding setups where a lightweight, low-cost drinker is adequate. It also suits farms that want to label sections by colour, since white and yellow bodies are identical in function. Distributors stock it by the carton and commonly mix it with hose, pipe connectors and pressure regulators in one container.

Because the unit is small and uniform, maintenance teams can carry a bag of spares on their rounds and swap any failing nipple in seconds. For export buyers, the 100 per bag and 30 bags per carton packing simplifies both shelf handling and loading into mixed containers. The low 5.8 g weight also means shipping cost per nipple stays minimal, which is why this model is often the first choice for distributors building a price-list entry in the rabbit drinker category. The choice of white or yellow bodies makes it suitable for farms that colour-code equipment by section: yellow nipples for the growing battery, white for the breeding section, or vice versa. Because the body is plastic, it never transfers a metallic taste to the water, which some rabbits are sensitive to, and it will not rust if condensate forms on the outside of the unit in a humid shed. First-time rabbit farmers starting from scratch often buy one bag of 100 nipples, a roll of hose and a pressure regulator as a complete beginner kit, and this drinker is the most common item in that kit.

Each unit is 5 cm long and weighs 5.8 g, noticeably lighter than brass-bodied versions of similar size.

Q3: What colours can I order?

The drinker is available with white or yellow plastic bodies. Both work the same way, so colour is mostly for farm colour-coding or preference.
