Water bottles

Question
Hi! Every water bottle I have had, has leaked. I fill it up and the next time I go up there the bedding is all wet! I got the one with the ball at the bottom. I got the glass ones, and I got the one with the removable top. I wondered if there is another type of water bottle that does not leak.

Answer
it sounds like you have bad luck with them. in my experience the metal ball bottomed ones are the best, perhaps you just had a faulty one. sometimes though they do just leak. what i tend to to is have a clay pot buried in the sawdust below it to catch the water. guinea pigs can also drink fine from a water dish so it doesnt matter if they drink from the clay container or water botttle, you just have to change the clay pot more frequently.

best of luck
