Can anyone recommend a decent water bottle which doesn't leak rapidly if at all. I have used the cheapy plastic one with the red lids, no good then I bought all the piggies the glass ones with the carrot and duck in and now these are leaking too! My main concern being that the piggies will be thirsty when I am not around to keep checking them and also the leaking water soaks all the bedding really quickly and during the night this could be very uncomfortable for my girlies. Many thanks.mallethead

Many guinea pigs playing with the bottles,
i have more than 5 different bottles, and all be emty within 1 day.
Under the bottle i have now a emty bowl, no weth bedding anymore.
 
I've found that the Ferplast Sippy bottles don't leak. They can be a pain in other ways though (not so easy to take apart for thorough cleaning and the plastic screwy bits which hold the bottle onto the cage can warp and become 'threaded', so it's really hard to get them screwed on tightly after a while as the plastic screws don't bite properly, if you know what I mean.)

I've heard that the glass ones tend to leak but am still changing over to them, for health reasons, as I've heard that piggies tend to drink more from glass bottles. I'm hoping that filling them right up to the top will help create a vacuum and stop leaks....maybe just wishful thinking?!
 
is this the weekend for bottles to be :)>>> ?
my girls haven't sipped from theirs the last few days..... me thinks i'm off to buy another one ( i will now buy two........ a spare in case!!)
why do they do this all of a sudden?


GOOD LUCK XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
I have a glass bottle. It has to be filled right to the brim for it not to leak. I actually took my first one back to the pet shop cos i thought it was faulty and that was the problem. Havnt had a problem since.
 
I use Sippi bottles for my own piggies, and not a drop leaks out.

I use cheap and cheery 'Classic' plastic 'bunny' drinking bottles for the boarding cages, and i have to say that, so far, i've not had a problem with any of them leaking/dripping.
