Kaytee Chew-Proof Water Bottle for Pet Ferrets and Rabbits, 26 oz

It’s always worked fine for me and my chinchilla
I’m glad I’ve owned two of these before buying it through Amazon, because the reviews on here are SCARY. People are talking about it falling on their animals, not dispensing water, leaking, etc. I even thought about not repurchasing, because of them, but then I thought to myself, “that’s crazy. Go with what YOU know.” So I’m here to share my experience with this bottle.I have a five-year-old chinchilla living in a five-tiered wire cage with plastic tiers/bottom. I have the plastic, because he outgrew the curious stage and doesn’t nibble/bite on anything (not power cords, not his cage, mainly just books when he’s playing and of course his wooden chews inside his cage). Regardless, when I initially bought this, he WAS chewing on plastic, so I wanted something glass that could hang on his old cage, on the outside (I still hang this on the outside, because he does do a lot of jumping around, and I don’t want him dislodging it).I don’t use anything extra to secure the bottle. I use the coil only, and the bottom part rests in-between the wires. It’s never once been knocked down. I had the smaller bottle at first, and it DID have issues dispensing water, but I always mark the water line with new bottles and check back within a few hours to see that it’s significantly lower, so I knew right away of the issue. The person at Petsmart suggested the bigger bottle. It didn’t have this issue. I could see the bubbles immediately when my chinchilla drank.After about a year, it started leaking. I think this is due to me fiddling too much with the pipe that dispenses the later (the part the animal drinks out of and the part that screws in are separate parts). I got a new one. And that’s the one I’ve had ever since. I clean it with a pipe cleaner regularly and a mild soap/water solution, because the inside of the bottle can get a little gross, even if it’s glass. That’s precisely the reason I bought him a new bottle. The old one, after a few years, was just a little too gross.And this one works fine as well. So here are my suggestions after years of ownership:1. Buy the big bottle.2. Still mark the water line with a sharpie or something to see that it goes down.3. Clean the inside regularly.

Defective
Bought this to replace another one that started leaking. This one was awful. Pouring out, never stopped. Metal part bent. Gasket was not correct

Great large bottle. Check the gasket before use though.
I have two guinea pigs that chew through every bottle I’ve bought. Not really through the whole bottle, but through the silicone ring that holds the steel tube to the bottle. Of course that meant I was in the market for a “chew proof” bottle. I was happy to have found this. The title is quite short and nondescript but it came up in an Amazon search so I clicked and read the description. There is no plastic on the bottle except for a clear silicone ring (gasket) between the glass and the stainless tube. The bottle is huge and while it doesn’t state how much it holds I would guess around a quart of water. There is an adorable little yellow duck that floats on top so you can see the water level. The color of the duck is quite pale so it is hard to see from across the room. By the time you are close enough to see the duck you can already see the water level so it’s kind of pointless. The glass is thick which is great since I think I could drop it without breaking it. The tube is quite long and the hangers work great. There is a little divot in the top of the bottle to hold the spring to keep it attached at the top. It does attach on the inside of the cage but since there is nothing that a piggie could chew through this is fine with me.I did have an issue with the gasket for the first 4 fill ups. The first time it ended up leaking entirely and soaked the cage. Had to replace all the bedding. I got a little smarter and filled it and set it upright in a large glass to see if it would leak again and surely enough it did. I took the tube off and looked inside and the little silicone gasket had been installed at an angle so that when it was screwed shut it didn’t seal. I took a pair of tweezers and pulled it out and reset it and it has not had a leak since.I’m very happy with the bottle now, no problems since the gasket repair. Highly recommended.

Buena calidad, vidrio grueso y resistente, mantiene el agua fresca y si se rellena en la marca indicada y se agita antes de colocar no presenta fallas de drenaje.

Already own one and buying another for my ratties. This is one of the only brands they’ll drink from. Generally doesn’t leak, unless overfilled or when first filled and still equalizing.
