It gets mold on it constantly. That's with changing water daily.

Dang. Had no idea, as I've only had it 2 days now. How did you remove it?

I don't. I try to wash it out with soap in between but it's hard to get rid of. Just really gross and not my fave bottle. The pigs love it tho.

@Mamapiggie My piggies love it too! In fact I have another water bottle for them too, but they stopped using it once I got the ducky one lol. Guess I'll have to deal with it and keep it clean or try to get the ducky out!

I've never had a problem getting it out.......just use needle-nose pliers.

One can never predict whether a water bottle will leak......or not. Most pet stores have a sink near the fish section. I insist on filling the bottle BEFORE I leave the store to see if it leaks. If so, I exchange it on the spot. As a backup, I take a personal water bottle to the store with me and test the bottle just outside the entrance to the store prior to leaving. I have saved myself the annoyance of having to return the bottle at another time.

I took it out due to the cleaning issues, and also the possibility of BPA in the plastic. I had plastic water bottles and they had a funny plasticky smell inside and I simply wanted nice clean glass for my boys.
