Ferplast sippy water bottle for small animals 300ml

What is the Ferplast Sippy water bottle for small animals 300 ml?

The Ferplast Sippy 300ml water bottle for small animals is a hydration accessory specifically designed for rodents and small mammals (such as hamsters, dwarf rabbits, guinea pigs, and gerbils). Manufactured by Ferplast , its main benefit is providing a clean and constant supply of water without the risk of spills, keeping the cage dry and the bedding free of moisture. Its bottle design with a drip-free nozzle makes it a practical and durable solution for your pet's daily needs.

Characteristics and benefits

• 300 ml capacity: Ideal for one or two small animals, enough for several days without the need for constant refilling.
• Anti-drip system: The Sippy nozzle prevents water loss, keeping the substrate dry and reducing the risk of mold or bacteria.
• Secure fixing: It includes a support and closure that fits most metal mesh cages, with a firm hold that prevents the animal from tipping it over.
• Transparent and durable material: Made of BPA-free plastic, it allows you to visually monitor the water level without opening the cage.
• Easy cleaning: The bottle is easily disassembled for hand washing, ensuring optimal hygiene with each water change.

How to use

Fill the bottle with fresh drinking water (do not use sugar water, juice, or any unspecified supplements). Screw the cap securely onto the nozzle and check that the anti-drip system is working by gently pressing the ball. Attach the holder to the cage at a height accessible to your pet, ensuring the nozzle is inside the cage. Change the water daily and wash the bottle at least once a week with warm water and mild soap, rinsing thoroughly. Do not use abrasive or metallic products that could scratch the plastic.

Indicated for

This water bottle is suitable for small animals such as hamsters, mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, dwarf rabbits, chinchillas, and ferrets. It is not suitable for dogs, cats, or birds, as its design is intended for small rodents and mustelids that drink by licking the metal ball.

FAQ

Is it compatible with any type of cage?

The included bracket fits most wire mesh cages with bars up to approximately 1 cm thick. If your cage is made of glass or smooth plastic, you may need an additional adhesive bracket (not included).

Does the nozzle leak if the animal plays with it?

The Sippy system is designed to minimize dripping, but if the animal repeatedly bumps it or you install it at a steep angle, some minimal leakage may occur. Make sure it is vertical and securely fastened.

How long does water last in the bottle without spoiling?

With fresh water and in a place out of direct sunlight, the water will stay in good condition for up to 24-48 hours. However, it is recommended to change it daily to prevent bacterial growth.

Can it be put in the dishwasher?

It is not recommended. Heat and harsh detergents can warp the plastic or damage the locking mechanism. Always hand wash it with warm water and mild soap.

Is it suitable for large breed adult rabbits?

This 300ml model is designed for small animals. For large breed rabbits or multiple rodents, we suggest a larger capacity water bottle (500ml or 1 liter) to avoid constant refilling.

Can I use this water bottle to give my baby liquid medication?

No. This product is designed exclusively for use in water. If your veterinarian prescribes oral treatment, it should be administered using a dosing syringe or directly into the mouth, never mixed in the drinking water, as this could alter the dosage or the product's stability.
