An open bowl in a small-animal cage gets bedding kicked into it, tipped over, and fouled within hours — which means either constant refilling or a pet drinking from something dirty. A hanging bottle keeps the water enclosed and clean, and the ball valve releases it only when your pet's tongue touches the spout. Sized for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and similar small pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater stays clean — no bedding, droppings or food ending up in it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCannot be tipped over, so the cage floor stays dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 ml holds a proper day's supply for most small pets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel ball valve, which resists corrosion better than plastic spouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHangs on the bars, freeing up cage floor space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall-bearing spout\u003c\/strong\u003e — stainless steel ball releases water on contact and seals between drinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e500 ml capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHanging design\u003c\/strong\u003e — mounts on the cage rather than sitting on the floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic and stainless steel construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo colourways\u003c\/strong\u003e — Green and Pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e hangs on the cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green, Pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and similar small pets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mainland China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 × 500 ml hanging water bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFill it completely — this is the single most important instruction, and it is where most leaking complaints come from.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer is explicit: a partly filled bottle does not build enough internal pressure and will drip continuously.

A few minutes of natural dripping at first is normal — it stops once the pressure inside and outside the bottle equalises.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo external dimensions or mounting-bracket measurements are published, only the 500 ml capacity. If you need to know whether it fits a particular cage or bar spacing, message us and we will ask the supplier before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse and refill daily with fresh water. Check the spout every day by touching the ball to confirm water is flowing — ball valves can occasionally stick or become blocked, and a small animal can dehydrate quickly. Clean the inside of the bottle regularly with a bottle brush; biofilm builds up in any water container. Allow a 1–2 cm variance on any measurement and slight colour variation from the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is it dripping?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost always because it is not filled to the top. A partly-full bottle cannot hold the pressure that keeps the valve sealed. Some dripping in the first few minutes after hanging is also normal and settles on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich animals is it for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and similar small pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit my cage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe manufacturer publishes no bracket or bottle dimensions.
