Hubby bought me a glass water bottle for Boofles cage today. WHAT a total and utter peice of rubbish it is. Within half hour 3/4 of it had dripped out into Boofs cage. I then in turn had to totally clean her cage out. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL.

I've heard all great things, they checked it at the shop and said "oh it's only dripping a bit" but it just doesn't stop dripping until it's emptied, I tried mine twice- I wonder if there's been a dodgy batch seen as mine was faulty in the same week?

I have one of these and it doesn't drip at all. However, the spout comes out completely so you do have to make sure it is pushed right in. If it's not this, then it does sound like a faulty bottle.

Mine is completely fine too, wonder if there is a faulty batch:{
There is a white seal in the cap which has to be pushed in completely.

Sounds like you have a duff one, take it back and get it swapped. I think they are great and my guineas drink more out of them too.

I have two glass bottle and they don't leak at all, the glass bottle have a clear washer inside and if this has come out then it will leak everywhere.
I didn't notice the clear washer at first fall out when I cleaned it, so check it has the rubber washer intact if not take it back.

Is this the glass one with a little duck inside? I have the ferplast ones with the funny valve and they drip drip drip 
I thought the pigs were peeing waaay too much until I found the real culprit! I'm yet to find a good non drippy water bottle its so annoying

Yep its got a duck in it. The woman who tested it is a guinea pig fan and says she has them and you have to fill them right to the top. Its not leaked once.
Her car had a guinea pig sticker on the back which was soooo cute. And a little sign in the side window.
