Always fill the bottle completely full 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 no air bubbles are left behind. If an air bubble remains 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 is watering and your finger is wet. Now you know for sure that the bottle gives water and the animals can drink.

A drinking bottle gives animals dosed water. The animals have to press against the ball to get water. Each drinking bottle provides water in a different way. One drinking bottle gives water very easily so that it can drip/leak and the other drinking bottle gives water less quickly. These product properties are different per drinking bottle.

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

With every change of drinking bottle, it is advisable to also put 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 provides water easily, they may have difficulty with a drinking bottle that provides water less easily.

If the animals do not want to 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 the rodents such as Gerbils, Chinchillas and Degus, the drinking bottle must be protected so that the animals cannot gnaw it.
