How to use

Fill the reservoir with fresh, non-chlorinated water (preferably filtered or left to stand for 24 hours). Attach the waterer to the outside of the cage at a height where the animal can comfortably reach the nozzle without straining its neck. Check that the ball in the nozzle moves freely. Change the water every 24-48 hours and clean the waterer weekly with mild soap and water, rinsing thoroughly. Do not use harsh detergents or put it in the dishwasher. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the nozzle should be checked periodically to ensure it is not clogged.

FAQ

Is it compatible with any type of cage?

Yes, the bracket fits metal bars up to 6-8 mm thick, common in most rodent cages. If your cage has very thin bars or is made of plastic, you can secure it with cable ties (not included).

Does the water come out on its own or do you have to press the nozzle?

The system is a ball-type dispenser: the animal pushes the ball with its tongue to release the water. It doesn't drip by gravity, so the cage stays dry. If you notice it dripping, the nozzle may be worn or incorrectly positioned.

How often should I change the water?

It is recommended to change the water every 24-48 hours, even if the animal hasn't drunk it all. Stagnant water can develop bacteria, especially in warm climates. Also, clean the water bowl at least once a week.

Is it safe for baby hamsters or very small breeds?

Yes, the nozzle is a standard size that allows hamsters from 3-4 weeks old to drink from it. If your hamster is very small, make sure it can easily reach the nozzle; if not, lower the water bottle or use a smaller one.

Can it be used for rabbits that gnaw a lot?

Yes, the metal nozzle and durable plastic can withstand occasional chewing. However, if your rabbit is particularly destructive, check the water bottle daily for any cracks that could cause leaks.

How long does the water last in the tank?

With 300 ml, a hamster or gerbil can have water for 3-5 days, but a rabbit or guinea pig can consume it in 1-2 days. The duration depends on the size and thirst of the animal. It's always best to check the water level daily.
