How to use

Fill the water bottle with fresh water and screw on the lid with the metal nozzle. Attach the holder to the cage bars at a height that allows the rodent to drink comfortably without straining its neck. Place the water bottle in the holder and press until it clicks into place. Check the water level daily and clean the water bottle at least once a week with lukewarm water and a soft brush (avoid harsh detergents). Do not use hot water or abrasive products that could damage the plastic. If the water flow is blocked, check that the ball in the nozzle moves freely.

Indicated for

This water bottle is suitable for pet rodents such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, Syrian hamsters, gerbils, and degus. It is also suitable for ferrets and other small mammals that require constant access to clean water. It is not recommended for very small animals (such as dwarf hamsters) that may have difficulty operating the nozzle; in that case, choose a smaller capacity model.

FAQ

How do you install the water dispenser in the cage?

The holder is placed on the cage bars, secured with the clip, and then the water bottle is attached. Make sure it is firmly in place and at a height accessible to your rodent.

Does the water drip if the rodent pushes the nozzle?

The anti-drip system with a sealing ball minimizes leaks, but if the rodent plays with the nozzle, small drips may occur. Check that the ball isn't stuck to prevent constant dripping.

How often should I change the water?

Change the water daily to ensure freshness and prevent bacteria. 600 ml will last a rabbit or guinea pig 2-3 days, but it's best to change it every 24 hours.

You can wash it in the dishwasher?

Not recommended. Hand wash with warm water and a soft brush to avoid deforming the plastic or damaging the locking mechanism.

Is it compatible with any type of cage?

It works with bars up to 1,5 cm thick. If your cage has very thin or very thick bars, the clip may not hold properly; in that case, use an adapter bracket.

Is the metal nozzle safe for the rodent's teeth?

Yes, the nozzle is designed with a stainless steel ball that won't damage teeth. Rodents press it with their tongues to get water without risk of injury.
