Critter Bright Water Bottle 32 Ounce

A small animal that runs dry in the afternoon is a problem you can head off. This 32 ounce Critter Bright bottle gives rabbits, ferrets and other small pets a steady supply of fresh water between your visits, and the clear body shows the level from across the room so you can top it off before it runs low.

The bottle uses a vacuum seal to hold the water in. Fill it to the top, tighten the cap, and the water stays in the bottle instead of soaking the cage floor. The neon tint puts some color on a plain wire cage. The plastic is BPA free, and the bottle is proudly made in the USA.

What it's for and why a bottle beats a bowl

Rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs and other small animals depend on you for water every day. A bottle hung on the cage wall keeps the water clear of bedding and droppings, which are the two things that foul a bowl on the cage floor fastest. Hanging it also leaves the floor clear for the animal to move around.

A bowl tips over, fills with shavings and needs a rinse every time it's kicked. A bottle with a vacuum seal stays put on the wall and only needs topping off. The clear body is the other reason people pick it: you can read the water line without opening the cage, so there's no guessing whether the bottle is empty. For a small pet that drinks a little at a time, that steady supply is the whole point.

At a glance

How to use it

1. Rinse the bottle and fill it to the top with fresh water.
2. Tighten the cap down firmly so the seal can form.
3. Expect a few drips until the vacuum forms. That is normal.
4. Hang it on the cage wall with the wire hanger, then check that the cap is seated before you walk away.

Good to know

• The vacuum only works when the bottle is full to the top and the cap is on tight.
• Hang the bottle so the spout sits at an easy drinking height for your pet.
• Rinse the bottle with clean water and refill it daily, so the animal always has fresh water.
• Touch the tip of the spout each morning to make sure water comes through before you walk away.
• Keep a spare on the shelf so cage cleaning day never leaves anybody dry.
