I'm having a major problem with leaky bottles! One piggies bottle inparticular seems to drip almost constantly, making his cage very wet. Is there any bottles that don't leak?
I'm currently using the 'classic' water bottles, with the red cap. I have tried the glass bottles (eco world?), but found that the plastic washer soon wore and the bottle was also leaking non-stop

Sadly, as I have 5 cages, I can't really afford to keep buying new water bottles each time one starts to leak.

Many thanks :D
 
I wish I could help. Bertie thinks the plastic bottles have to be shaken really well to make the water come out, and then you chew anything you can reach. He had a new bottle at Christmas which I think could have been faulty, and it leaked everywhere we are now back to his old bottle which is really tatty! Could you not use those small stainless steel bowls which fit in the cage? mind you they would be costly. not much help sorry!
 
Thanks for the info on drinking bottles Macker, I will get one of those. Mine isn't too bad at dripping but it is very noisy;)

I only use the Ezi-filla bottles http://www.johnhopewell.co.uk/default.asp?template=productlist.page.xml&CategoryId=1. Never had one leak yet! They have a valve that the piggies have to push to one side in order to allow the water to flow. My piggies took to them straight away and they seem to get water more easily from them than a traditional spout and ball variety.

Thanks :)
Do they work the same as these Sippy Bottles? http://www.petsathome.com/shop/small-animal-sippy-bottle-by-ferplast-33669
 
Oh my gosh! Those are a couple of cute piggies, Mackers! I have had some trouble with our water bottle, so I checked out this thread. I just had to comment on those cuties!
 
when silling bottles , fill them right to the very top and give them a shake before attaching to the cage front, never had a leaking one
 
I have two hutches with two identical bottles, when I put either bottle on the double level hutch, it leaks. Yet when I put the bottles on the single level hutch, it doesn't? :{ :{ :{
