I bought a Lixit too, and it was awkward to attach it (decided to also attach it to the inside not outside cause it was better), but afterward it was much easier then the other bottle, and it stays better because of its flat side. I pressed the ball more for the correct vacuum (I think it has another ball added). I hope it lasts cause I really like it. It's a little smaller then the one I had, so it's not a waste of water when you clean and put fresh water daily.
I have a question. I saw some "more advanced" bottles, having a valve system. They say it is much better and ok, but is it safe? I mean it works by having a pin inside the spout, against a rubber ring at the back. It releases water only when the guinea pig licks the pin. Isn't that bad for their little tongues?
