Instructions for use Ferplast Sippy Drinking Bottle

Always fill the bottle completely with fresh water, so that the bottle does not leak. Always fill the drinking bottle until it is full and tap the spout to ensure that no air bubbles are left behind. If an air bubble remains in the spout, water will not come out of the drinking bottle. Then hang the drinking bottle upright and tap the water ball with your finger until the bottle gives water and your finger is wet. Now you are sure that the bottle provides water and the animals can drink.

A drinking bottle provides animals with measured amounts of water. The animals have to press against the ball to get water. Each drinking bottle provides water in a different way. One drinking bottle dispenses water very easily, which can cause it to drip/leak, while the other drinking bottle dispenses water less quickly. These product properties differ per drinking bottle.

Social rodents that live in a group should have several drinking bottles, so that sufficient water is available for all animals. Dominant animals can claim a drinking bottle that prevents other animals from drinking.

It is best to provide young animals with a water bowl in addition to a drinking bottle, so that they always have water until they get used to drinking from a drinking bottle.

Whenever you change the drinking bottle, it is advisable to also provide a water bowl for the animals until they get used to the new drinking bottle. If the animals are used to a drinking bottle that provides water easily, they may have difficulty with a drinking bottle that provides water less easily.

If the animals do not want or cannot drink from the drinking bottle, try another one that suits the animals. Every rodent is different and sometimes has its own preferences.

For the real rodents among rodents such as Gerbils, Chinchillas and Degus, the drinking bottle must be protected so that the animals cannot gnaw it.
