Over the past few months, whenever I change my BP 's (Athena) water, I'll wrap her around my neck. She usually droops down to see what I'm doing while I'm washing her bowl out. One time I filled her bowl up to see if she would drink while she was around my neck and I was holding her bowl and she did! I then wondered if she would drink from my bare hands. After only a week or two, she did! I was really excited. So now once per washout when she droops down, I'll cup my hands together and fill them with as much water as I can. Then I'll offer it to her to see what she does. It has been a few months since she drank out of my bare hands but she finally did it again today! Now the only challenge will be getting a picture/video of it...its hard to hold a camera when both of your hands are being used to hold water
Try it! You never know if your BP will do the same!
