Non drip water bottle?

[millimat]

Am I dreaming for the impossible? They seems to either leak and guinea pigs get thirsty or the outside drips onto our floor!
Please give some advice...

We have a large one with blue stripes for the quantity and a blue spout which hasn't leaked yet. It doesn't have a name on it unfortunately, we got it from a shop called Just for Pets.

I have some from The Range -
Classic drinking bottle by Caldex . ( Clear plastic, white writing, red lid ,metal spout )

I use an empty plastic lemonade bottle with the neck trimmed back, and the base cut off , fastened to the outside of the cage with cable ties. The water bottle just slots in and poke the drinking tube through the bars. Much easier than fiddling with those metal ties or the springs.

And I found the smaller bottles were easier , lighter weight and I could have a couple per cage so always one in use/one in to clean.


I fill right to the top and no air bubble , so you get a vacuum when they drink. These have seemed to be best so far .
Though I've had guinea-pigs that pointedly refuse to look at water bottles except our piggie who lives indoors and chews the water bottle at 3am .
They get their water from veg (as their pee bedding proves )

This is the best I have found. I have a house ferret. She will drink from a bowl of water but my old boy wouldn't, little sod would tip it. I was sick of the dripping all over the cage, that happened with the plastic bottles. Then I found this one.
It's glass and really doesn't drip. I will warn you though...there's a knack to putting the lid back on after a refill but once you do it once it's easy.... (DH never mastered it though :) )

@pickletickled that's the one I've just bought and so far I'm impressed.
70 can you put on a photo of what you mean with the lemonade bottle please? Sounds inventive....

Millimat - Like I mentioned it is THE only one I found that didn't drip drip drip. Glad you found it.
