Rodent owners...I need a tad bit of help.

Bleh. My first water bottle I got rid of cause it leaked too much. So I got this new one that looked better and everything, and come to find out, it doesn't leak regularly, but when Baby drinks from it, it POURS out of the bottle. This makes me have to put a bucket of bedding under the thing, which has to be dumped out and replaced everyday. And sometimes he kicks the thing out of place, so he's got nice soaking wet bedding.

Soaking wet bedding = quick stink. Doesn't take long for that stench to fill my room.

So, can anyone recomend a large bottle brand that DOESN'T leak?

It'd be nice to ask before I go out and buy another one that leaks, and just keep getting more and more that don't work or something.

I normally stick with the cheapy bottles, because for ME at least, the expensive ones have just as much of a chance of leaking!

Just, if you FIND an end that doesn't leak, KEEP IT! If the bottle gets wrecked, use a 20oz or 16oz popbottle as a bottle and stick the end on the bottle! I just pitched my doctor pepper water bottle after a year of use, and my rats now drink frome a sprite bottle

Oooh very interesting. Never woulda thought of that.

I gotta go shopping soon cause I'm getting a bit fed up with this water bottle.

I use some that are REALLY cheap. They don't even have a ball in them or anything. They're merely a hard, clear plastic tube with a rubber stopper in the end with a plastic tube sticking out. The only time they leak is when they come into direct contact with bedding, which is fairly rare.

Any brand names I could look for?

My local petsmart doesn't have alot of options. I'll probably end up going to pet supplies plus or something.
