Water Bottles

[cavykiss]

Inside of grid or outside of grids? I'm using a bent grid inside of the mesh cubes c&c cage.

i put my water bottle outside of the grids but i think it's ok if u put it inside..

I put mine on the outside because my **naughty** little piggies () will knock them down when they are in the inside. the grad the spout type thing and shake them around until they fall off.

Mine are inside the grids because I have an 18 mos old who will take it off and drink from it. I just attached it inside with pipe cleaners.

Pipe cleaners... Good ideas. Mine is inside and its attached to a cable tie

My water bottle are doing fine with a bundgie cord holding them in place.

Sorry I am having a brain freeze, what's a pipe cleaner?

[Piglet]

These!

They're also called something else, I believe, I can't think of it off the top of my head though.

ooohhh hehehe, thanks for the pic Piglet! Now I know what they are! I have a ton of those!

Chenille sticks is the other name. =) Hair ties also work well, so do scrunchies.

i just use the clasp that the flat backed lixit water bottles come with. are these alone not sturdy enough? why is veryone using extra supports?

Is there something wrong with using a water bowl? I have a small weighted [doggie] water bowl. I've seen her drink out of it (and she is peeing too! hehe). And she hasn't knocked it or gotten it dirty.

[cavykiss]

Maybe because of instinct when they nurse when they're tiny?

[Piglet]

Thats the problem. They'll pee in it and then they'll drink that dirty water. Also, the bowl may well get tipped over and create a wet piggy and cage!
