Trouble With Water Bottles

[poohbear01]

Why is it all the bottles with the red tops leak even though I shake them first to create the vacuum ? Is it me? I've had 4 two large and 2 giant and within a short amount of time I found my peanuts hutch was getting very wet. I ended up getting a kerbl water container with the sippy bit you push thorough the hutch wire and you screw it onto water container it is amazing £9 well spent and it holds up to a litre of water & no more leaks

All the red ones leak, I have two of those and another type and that leaks. You can get none drip ones but i havent got around to it yet.

the biba savic water bottles are brilliant and don't leak

 

[Flutterby]

I'll have a look into those because mine are driving me potty!

If not the kerbl water container on Amazon is brilliant

But not the yellow one I have the one with the Brown lid

You need to fill the red bottles right to the very rim; otherwise they will leak.

I am using sippy bottles.

PS: I am going to move this thread out of the introductions section into Daily Care.

Aww thank you wiebke I've just done what you suggested and it's now not leaking

I use the Kerbl rabbit drinkers :-) got too sick of other bottles with the double ball bearing system leaking on me even when filled properly

I was going to say they need filling right to the top!

 

[poohbear01]

My kerbl drinker doesn't need taking off the hutch wire to refill just unscrew sipper from container as the lid opens on the container empty old renew with fresh daily job done is outside the hutch just the sipper bit obviously is in the hutch

I have the P@H bottles and never had any issues with them at all, when I fill them I give them a good old shake to get the vacuum effect
