I prefer these store bought ones. They're cheap and do the trick. It's not a good photo so you can barely see the metal hanging part on the right.

Thank you for suggesting this! I keep them on hand for appliance cords, but had never thought of using them for the stability of the water bottle. :melodrama

i use them to keep up grid for fleece forest & bunk bed. I Change it up week to week and was going thru so many zip ties with 2 cages

I bought mine at Pet Supplies Plus but I think most pet stores that carry small animal products would probably have them. I think they were under $5

Do you hang yours inside the cage or out? I hang most of mine out, and use little bungee cords. For the inside bottles I use those metal hangers pictured above.

You can even use a heavy duty rubber band attached to two partially opened paper clips to hook on to each side of the grids.
