Ezi-Filla with Guinea Pig Valve

[Boony]

Hi everyone,

Just wondered if anyone has got/had these Ezi-Filla water bottle with the Guinea Pig Valve?

Are they better than the standard ones?

Thanks

I've got two of these and they are great, or at least they were until this week when for some reason both decided to empty their contents in to the cage - a pint of water each! When the first one did it I thought it must have been the piggy laying under it and touching the nozzle, but he wasn't wet (as he's a merino he would have been soggy mop). A couple of days later the other one did it too - no reason that I could see for it, no food or hay wedged to make it drip.

The other type I use are the Sippy bottles - I've had them a good while and no leaks.

Would you say the guinea pig valve ones are better than the standard ones? I'm after something that doesn't leak! The normal ball ones I have now are a pain, most days the piggies have flooded their cages (I have 9)

I prefer the sippy ones for the Ferplast cages as they are attached to the cage. I use a drip tray (corner litter trays) under all the bottles, no matter the design as lots of pigs are messy drinkers and so many like to pee while they drink too.

I have the john hopewell bottles and to begin witih the piggies had the Ezi-filla with the guinea pig valve and the ezi-filla with the regular valve. The pigs never used the GP bottle and always preferred the regular valve. So I stick to the regular valve Ezi-Filla bottles now - they never leak or drip.
