Aluminum Drinking Bottle Holder for Rodents!

DRD Rodent Shop ^® Aluminum Drinking Bottle Holder for Terrarium and Gerbilarium

The DRD Knaagdierwinkel ^® Aluminium Water Bottle Holder has been specially developed for glass enclosures, such as a hamster terrarium, mouse enclosure, or gerbilarium. With this holder, you can place a water bottle neatly and stably in an enclosure without drilling, gluing, or using separate stands.

The holder is made of high-quality aluminum, making it strong, hygienic, and chew-resistant. The mounting uses strong magnets suitable for glass up to 6 mm thick. Thanks to the protective dampers around the magnets, the glass and magnets are better protected during installation and relocation.

Advantages of the Aluminum Drink Bottle Holder

✔ Ideal for glass enclosures: perfect when you want to attach a water bottle in a terrarium or gerbilarium.
✔ Chew-resistant aluminium holder: the holder itself is made of sturdy aluminium and resistant to small gnawing teeth.
✔ Strong magnets: suitable for glass up to 6 mm and easy to install without drilling or gluing.
✔ With protective magnetic dampers: helps protect glass and magnets during use.
✔ Beautiful and practical: sleek aluminium design that fits well into a natural hamster or gerbil setup.

Why choose an aluminium water bottle holder?

In a wire cage, you can often easily hang a water bottle on the bars, but in a glass enclosure, that is more difficult. A freestanding water bottle holder can shift, get buried, or get in the way. This magnetic aluminum water bottle holder solves that practically: you attach the holder to the glass and can place the water bottle at the correct drinking height.

The holder is especially handy for small rodents kept in a terrarium or gerbilarium. Think of mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils. You decide where the bottle hangs and can adjust the height when you change the layout.

Aluminium has the advantage of being smooth, sturdy, and easy to clean. The bottom of the holder is open, so dirt and moisture accumulate less quickly. The drinking bottle sits deep enough in the holder, so your pet cannot easily reach the bottle itself when the holder is properly positioned.

For which animals is this drinking bottle holder suitable?

• Mouse: suitable for glass mouse cages. Place the water bottle at a low, easily accessible height.
• Dwarf hamster: very suitable for dwarf hamster terrariums. Hang the bottle so that your dwarf hamster can drink upright and relaxed.
• Hamster: suitable for hamster terrariums and glass enclosures. Check the height after arranging the substrate.
• Gerbil: suitable for gerbilariums. The aluminum is practical for gerbils, as they like to modify and gnaw through many materials.
• Dwarf rat, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, chinchilla, and degu: this holder is usually less suitable for these animals, as it was primarily developed for smaller water bottles and small rodents in glass enclosures.

Suitable for which water bottle?

The Aluminium Drinking Bottle Holder is suitable for the 75 ml and 150 ml Classic drinking bottles . The holder is supplied without a drinking bottle, so you can choose the right size drinking bottle for your animal and enclosure yourself.

For small animals and smaller enclosures, 75 ml is often a good size. For slightly larger enclosures or animals that drink more, 150 ml may be more practical. Always check daily that the water bottle is working properly and that your animal can reach it.

How do you install the Aluminum Drink Bottle Holder?

Place the holder on the inside of the glass and attach the magnetic cap to the outside. Hold the holder firmly while placing it so that the magnets settle gently into place. The magnetic cap is large enough to grip comfortably, allowing you to position the holder accurately.

Hang the holder so that your animal can drink upright without having to stretch or climb. For hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, and gerbils, this means that the spout of the water bottle must hang low and be easily accessible. After filling, check that the drinking spout hangs freely and does not press against bedding, glass, or furnishings.

Important when used in an enclosure

The aluminium holder itself is chew-proof. The protective dampers around the magnets are not. Therefore, always hang the water bottle holder so that your animal can drink properly, but cannot reach the rubber or the magnet protection. This is especially important for gerbils and other animals that like to gnaw on everything.

Use the holder only on glass up to and including 6 mm thick. Regularly check that the holder is still hanging securely and that the bottle is seated properly in the holder.
