Mojos water bottle keeps leaking. This is the one with 2 ball bearings inside the tube and I fill it up to the top and try to create a vacuum so the water doesnt leak out but it doesnt work.
Is there any water bottles which do not leak.
 
I find that even with bottles that do not leak, some piggies drink so messily that there is still a lot of water ending up in the drip dish underneath. :(
 
:( but you can see this one dripping really badley and a drip tray fills up pretty quick.
Then you have to change the woodshavings there every day,
 
mine have two savic water bottles, recommended to me on here. they're really good. when you have filled them and first attach them they do a few drips but then don't drip at all. i really like them :)
 
I use a Ferplast Sippy. It doesn't use ball bearings so you don't have to create a vacuum. I've never had a problem with leaking (but one of mine is a messy drinker so usually dribbles it everywhere anyway).
 
I thought we had a leaky bottle, turns out we just had a naughty Buzz who played with the spout, since we lost him and Tim is on his own there is no leaky water. I even put my hand under him while drinking to check and the little wotsit tricked me into thinking he wasn't spitting it everywhere.
 
I just have to put up with leaky bottles! Funny the girls bottle doesnt leak, only Berties, even if I buy him a new one. The little terror was so wet one day I thought it was his teeth, rushed him to see Simon, cost me £25, just to be told he must be playing with his water bottle...:laluot_15: good job I love him!

oh dear. I'm sure simon got a giggle out of it
My local pet store if having a look with their wholesalers for a ferplast sippy bottle and will send me a message on Facebook or a text if they are able to get one or not.
 
I used the living world glass bottles quite happily (until cameo knocked hers off, it hit the one on the cage below and they both smashed!) and I've got the sippy bottles now...I like them, the pigs like them, win win :)
 
I've used the superpet glass ones but am going to swap to the ferplasr sippy as I managed to drop it on the floor whilst attaching to their run and it smashed into millions of pieces. I only bought it about a month ago :(
 
I use the Living World glass ones too and they never seem to leak much. My piggies are VERY tidy drinkers though! My last pair used to spit chewed up hay up the nozzle and into the water, but my current two girls are super clean! They might leak more with messier drinkers I suppose.
