Preferable to larger, fancier plastic bottles that obscure water levels
I ordered this 6 oz. glass bottle to replace the much larger plastic bottle that was included with the Kaytee complete starter kit for guinea pigs and small critters. The problem with the previous bottle hinged primarily on the tinting of the bottle, which made it a pain to determine water levels (this should not be rocket science). I’ll admit my vision isn’t what it used to be, but it shouldn’t be necessary to remove the bottle every day to check out remaining supply. (Thanks a lot, Kaytee.)This bottle is an improvement for several reasons: 1.Glass simply keeps standing water fresher for a longer period of time than plastic. 2. If the volume is no more than 6 oz., it’s much easier to add the exact amount of Vitamin C supplement (2 drops per oz.) required by your guinea pig. 3. The smaller capacity encourages more frequent exchange of drinking water, assuring your pet of a full and fresh supply. 4. Remaining water supply is alway visible (a floating duck is added for additional convenience to the pet owner).The bottle is probably not for everyone. Owners who have more than one or two pets will no doubt prefer a larger bottle since a 6 oz. bottle might require refills throughout the day.As usual, Kaytee has overlooked a small but critical detail that would be to the owner’s convenience (not to mention the pet’s safety). Nowhere on the bottle could I find the volume listed, to remind me of the number of droplets of Vitamin C to add to a full bottle to meet my pet’s requirements. If Coke and Pepsi can add this detail to all of their bottles, how can Kaytee overlook such a potentially critical detail? Your pet deserves better. (I had to look up the product once again on Amazon to be reminded of total ounces.)Note: I’ve discovered that the bottle empties out at unpredictable, inconsistent rates. If I’m feeding Sparky lots of fresh vegetable treats, the level will remain unchanged for up to a week (but be sure to check for a clogged funnel). If I’m out of fresh vegetables, leaving Sparky with nothing but pellets and dry Timothy hay, he’s capable of emptying half of the bottle in a single day. At least he’s kind enough to let me hear about any change in amenities. In fact, ii’s only when he wishes to express displeasure that I hear the “wheeking” that guinea pigs are known for.

It’s always worked fine for me and my chinchilla
I’m glad I’ve owned two of these before buying it through Amazon, because the reviews on here are SCARY. People are talking about it falling on their animals, not dispensing water, leaking, etc. I even thought about not repurchasing, because of them, but then I thought to myself, “that’s crazy. Go with what YOU know.” So I’m here to share my experience with this bottle.I have a five-year-old chinchilla living in a five-tiered wire cage with plastic tiers/bottom. I have the plastic, because he outgrew the curious stage and doesn’t nibble/bite on anything (not power cords, not his cage, mainly just books when he’s playing and of course his wooden chews inside his cage). Regardless, when I initially bought this, he WAS chewing on plastic, so I wanted something glass that could hang on his old cage, on the outside (I still hang this on the outside, because he does do a lot of jumping around, and I don’t want him dislodging it).I don’t use anything extra to secure the bottle. I use the coil only, and the bottom part rests in-between the wires. It’s never once been knocked down. I had the smaller bottle at first, and it DID have issues dispensing water, but I always mark the water line with new bottles and check back within a few hours to see that it’s significantly lower, so I knew right away of the issue. The person at Petsmart suggested the bigger bottle. It didn’t have this issue. I could see the bubbles immediately when my chinchilla drank.After about a year, it started leaking. I think this is due to me fiddling too much with the pipe that dispenses the later (the part the animal drinks out of and the part that screws in are separate parts). I got a new one. And that’s the one I’ve had ever since. I clean it with a pipe cleaner regularly and a mild soap/water solution, because the inside of the bottle can get a little gross, even if it’s glass. That’s precisely the reason I bought him a new bottle. The old one, after a few years, was just a little too gross.And this one works fine as well. So here are my suggestions after years of ownership:1. Buy the big bottle.2. Still mark the water line with a sharpie or something to see that it goes down.3. Clean the inside regularly.

Please do not buy this
If you care about your small pet at all, please donât buy this water bottle. I was excited to get my chinchilla a new water bottle with more capacity and a marker to show where the water level is. I was so mistaken. It took so long to get here, and when it did, it leaked everywhere in her cage. Her fleece covers were SOAKED. Any small pet owner knows that most small pets cannot get wet unless it is medically necessary. This water bottle will ruin your enclosure and expose your pet to bacteria. Do not buy!!!

Bought two of these for my guinea pigs, easy to use and easy to clean. I prefer glass because plastic tends to taint the taste of water and I want my fellas to drink happily. This fits the bill, doesn’t leak holds a ton of water.

Pero no es angihoteo de repente si goteaba y se le mojaba el aserrÃn a mi cuicui pero cumple su función para quien tiene un conejo porque si es un poco grande y el embase es muy bueno con el resorte para asegurarlo a la jaula

Es realmente bueno, no gotea!!! Respecto a la resistencia⦠pues es de vidrio! Obviamente si se cae se romperá (espero que no se me caiga!) el agua dura limpia y no guarda olores⦠El tamaño es bueno, yo lo uso para una chinchilla y el agua le dura como 15 dÃas sin problema. Recomendable.

Already own one and buying another for my ratties. This is one of the only brands they’ll drink from. Generally doesn’t leak, unless overfilled or when first filled and still equalizing.
