Super Pet CritterTrail 5-Ounce Deluxe Water Bottle

 (12 customer reviews)

You can search high and wide, as I have done, for a small pet water bottle that doesn't leak. It's a tall order, and I have yet to succeed in finding such a bottle for Danny Boy, my chinchilla. Oasis used to make great ones, but they apparently have sold out to another manufacturer, and those bottes are now not up to par. Other popular brands continually leak.

But this tiny water bottle does not leak. Three cheers and hurrah!

Since it is dark blue, it is a little hard to know just how much water has been drunk by small pets (mine are two mice). So it's best to change the water at least every other day. That way one can be safe.

Be sure to tamp the tip of the bottle a few times after installing it in the cage. That will stop any initial leaking due to jarring.

But it's a great relief for me to find a non-leaking product. They're hard to find, and I am glad to have come upon this one.

Crittertrail cages should come with this water bottle by default. It has 2 balls in it to prevent leaking, but my dwarf hamster can still drink out of it just fine. Cleaning and refilling is easy. If you have a Crittertrail cage,buy this!

The item was good, I would not recommend for mice though.. The ball is very tough to push for a little mouse, and I found that even though I could push the ball with my little finger no water would come out! I loosened the lid but still no go. Overall it seems like an ok water bottle.... Just not for mice.
