Instructions for use Trixie Glass 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 make sure that no air bubbles remain. If there is an air bubble in the spout, no water will 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 know for sure that the bottle gives water and the animals can drink.

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

Social rodents that live in groups should have multiple drinking bottles, so that there is enough water available for all animals. Dominant animals can claim a drinking bottle, preventing other animals from drinking.

It is best to give young animals 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.

With every change of drinking bottle it is advisable to also place a water bowl for the animals until they are used to the new drinking bottle. If the animals are used to a drinking bottle that easily gives water they may have difficulty with a drinking bottle that gives 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 such as Gerbils, Chinchillas and Degus, the drinking bottle must be protected so that the animals cannot gnaw it to pieces.
