I have a couple of water bottles - the type with a ball-bearing in the end, both a glass and plastic one. They both leak !

Is this something that happens with all bottles or is there a magic one which doesn't leak - don't want to end up spending a fortune on ones which still leak !

I have found if I turn mine sideways and point the end with ball at a downwards angle Piggys can still work it and it either stops the leak or it reduces it. Course I have a piggy that has learned how to push the ball up and let water pour out and then he repeats this all day... I have to take it away a couple times a day to force him to play with this toys instead of his bottle :)
 
fill the bottle full then turn it up so the ball bearing is pointing down, give it a shake so it creates a vacuum then place on cage and check the end with a clean finger a few times & hey presto no leaks :))
that's how i do mine anyway :)

Failing that, take it back. One of my glass ones leaked, I took it back and the shop exchanged it.
