My late night water bottle adventure

[Froggirl009]

Last night when I came home I found my piggie's water bottle was off the clip and was all the way on the other side of the cage. I picked up the water bottle and saw it was empty. I went to go fill it up when I saw that they had chewed a hole at the bottom of the water bottle. I got in the car and my mom drove me to the pet store 5 minutes before it closed. I went in and bought a water bottle. We came home and put up the water bottle but it leaked and it wouldn't stop. After 5 minutes it was half empty(even though on the label it said it didn't leak) I got back in the car and went to the grocery store because they have a little section for small animals.... but no water bottles There was another petstore across the street that was still open and I bought a water bottle there. So I guess the lesson to be learned from this story is always have two water bottles.

You poor thing! Good idea on deciding to keep more than one available. I have a replacement for each water bottle so when "Total Clean" day comes they have a clean water bottle so I can dishwash the others. I have also found - sorry to get off track! - that the cheap baby bottle componant baskets (for holding the lighter/smaller nipples, rings, caps, and pacifiers) work great for keeping the nozzles from flying around my washer.
