Types of water bottles and drinkers:

1. Drip bottles:

   • The most commonly used drinkers for small animals.
   • Water is released when the stainless steel valve is licked, which prevents spillage.
   • Available in various sizes, suitable for guinea pigs, rabbits and smaller rodents.

2. Drinkers with a bracket:

   • Easy to attach to cage bars or a wall.
   • Stable and durable, suitable even for larger and more active animals.

3. Water bowls:

   • Ideal for animals that prefer to drink from an open surface.
   • Heavy ceramic or stainless steel bowls prevent tipping over.

4. Automatic drinkers:

   • Keep water constantly clean and top it up as the animal needs it.
   • A practical solution for longer periods without needing to refill.

Benefits of water bottles and drinkers:

1. Hygiene: They prevent water from being contaminated by dirt and bedding, keeping it safe to drink.
2. Easy maintenance: Most models are simple to clean and refill.
3. Water saving: They minimise water wastage, which is a common problem with bowls.

How to choose the right drinker?

• Size: Match the size of the drinker to the animal's needs. For smaller mammals, a 150–250 ml bottle is enough, while for rabbits you should choose a larger one, e.g. 500–1000 ml.
• Material: Choose quality materials such as glass, stainless steel or food-safe plastic, which are safe and durable.
• Type: Drip bottles are ideal for active animals that might tip bowls over. If your animal prefers an open surface, choose a stable bowl instead.

Recommendations for use:

1. Change the water regularly, ideally every day, so it's always fresh.
2. Clean the drinker at least once a week to prevent dirt and bacteria from building up.
3. Make sure the drinker is properly attached and easily accessible for the animal.

Water bottles and drinkers for guinea pigs, rabbits and small mammals are an essential accessory that makes it easier to keep your pets hydrated and comfortable. Choose the right type and size to suit your pet's needs, and keep up with regular maintenance for maximum hygiene.
