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

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.

Best water bottle yet for our bunny! Does not leak does not break and is huge! Great price also! Would buy again!

I purchased this for our bunny and unfortunately I could not get the water to stop leaking. I made sure the water wasn't too cold, I put water in right to the fill line, I adjusted the angle of the spout, watched the help videos for a solution, but nothing worked. Within an hour, all of the water had dripped out into the cage. I have used many glass water dispensers throughout the years but this one doesn't work properly. I am returning.

Great product!

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.

I love these! Glass holds up great unless you forget it in the cold! (Yes we brought the bunny in but I forgot his bottle and it broke) this is my replacement one. But I love these!

It is very sturdy. It prevents pets from biting it. I have a chinchilla. This is a good solution. But it often leaks. It is not very stable.

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.

Es muy grande jaja al principio noté que goteaba pero después no, mi chinchilla le empezó a tomar sin problema, vidrio el grueso

Pero no es angihoteo de repente si goteaba y se le mojaba el aserrín a mi cuicui pero cumple su función para quien tiene un conejo porque si es un poco grande y el embase es muy bueno con el resorte para asegurarlo a la jaula

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.

Works with the holder
