Water Bottles

[salembinx]

Since buying my boys new cages two ferplas 120 joined together, had awful trouble with water bottles. The bottles supplied were useless so I got two new ones with wires no matter how I fix them on the boys pull them off and cause general havoc. Any ideas would be welcome thank you xx

I use the Classic Bunny large bottle . They work really well, had mine for a year and no problems. I use a green scratch and newton bottle snug though, but isn't really necessary for indoor pigs unless there is sunlight shining.

Thank you but I have the classic bottles. It's the wires don't seem to hold it properly. I have to mount the bottles inside the cage cos the little fella won't drink it if it's outside with just the tube sticking through. Awkward boys !! X

You may be better off buying the Scratch and Newton Bottle covers, you get material straps.

Thank you. I have looked bit pricey but if it works it will be money well spent x

I find the ones u can screw on to the cage work best but I only own 1 of those. They can try to bite the plastic but it's just too hard for them so they gave up and now don't bother.
