Having a nightmare with water bottles!

[AlphaUrd13]

if it helps, I use Kaytee glass bottles that are 175 ml and keep several of them depending how many piggies u got, since they tend to be sturdier and do the vacuum thing well in smaller sizes. At times if I twist the cap too tight the piggies don't get the water coming out so I close it without using extra strength and then tap on the ball thingie and if bubbles come out every two taps or so then it's a good pressure. Hope my method helps you handle the water bottle.

I’ve actually been using a similar glass one attached to the inside of Frodo’s cage for the past few weeks and it seems to be working well. It’s not leaking, he’s not managing to get food stuck inside, and he doesn’t chew it half as much as the other bottles. Think we’re into a winner!

ooooh best of luck! the nozzle is metallic and pretty sturdy and chew proof so it helps with bite-drinkers. My piggies just love to get thirsty at the same time and fight over the water bottle and keep biting and pulling from one another, so I can personally vouch for its strength
