Hi and welcome! We love pigtures around here so if you can please assist us with our addiction:crazy:! What were your boys drinking from before you brought them home? If you just got them they may be shy about doing anything while your watching. When I wash the lettuce for my boys I always leave it soaking wet so they are getting water that way. Also, run your finger across the ball on the water bottle to make sure it's working. Sometimes just a little tilting one way or another can mess it up.

I may be wrong about this but I recall others suggesting flipping the rubber ring inside the cap and that should help with the problem? I have fleece pads underneath all my bottles just in case!
