Post Waterbottle Suggestions


Well, I think it's time to get my rats a new water bottle. The one I have now is leaking and not very good quality. Any suggestions on a good water bottle?

I know that a lot of people here like the waterbuddies brand, that you order online, but I saw that they were pretty expensive If it's worth it, I'll pay for it, but I just want some feedback. Thanks.

I've always used Critter Canteens you can get from Petsmart and most pet stores. They are blue and come in a vaiety of sizes and are relatively inexpensive. I have had the same ones for the past two years or so and have not had a problem with them.

I like the Lixit glass water bottles, even if I can hear them while asleep wink I think they are about $6 online.

Are they really annoyingly loud, or just slightly noisy?

Just the regular "clickety click click" of the ball bearing sound. It doesn't really wake me up. I tried the bottles with the little levers in them (I think these are the water buddies), but although I loved them, the rats never figured them out. hmmmm. I could have tried harder to teach them I suppose. I do feel the glass is best for water. I'm always afraid plastic is leaching nasty stuff into the water.

That's the waterbuddies I'm talking about.
The lixit waterbottle sound really good though...

I have the Lixit glass bottles too and I love them. They are SO easy to get really clean and they don't leak as much as other bottles I've had. I don't even notice the clickity click sound...I've just tuned it out. It sounds like every other water bottle out there. :)
