🐦 Premium Heavy Duty Glass Water Bottles: Ideal for Birds, Dogs, and Small Animals Review

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 for just one small reason: the rod/lever holding the bottle to the cage mount rotates too easily. I have a very curious cockatoo and he loves to play around with things. I don't know if he flips the bar up or if it's just tugging at his cage, but the bottle almost fell off. However, it was easy enough to fix. I found some very small bungee cords that I hid and using just one solved the problem. I also used the same trick, tying a pole/arm to the large bottle of my…

I had Lixit 20 years ago. The rubber stopper wears out, but these stoppers are no longer manufactured. I heard these new bottles drip (lick), but after doing my homework on various brands, they still seemed like the best option - which is a sad statement about water bottles these days. The first thing I noticed was that the cork didn't "stick". like in old times. Now it just seems inserted, but not very tight. Second, it doesn't drip when it's 100% full. At 75% it starts dripping. When it's…

Scam because I thought it was sold directly by Lixit but it isn't. It arrived with a bracket that was too small and a part missing, rendering it unusable. I called Lixit customer service and they were amazing! Very pleasant and helpful. They asked where I bought it and I told them Revain. She informed me that I am not the only one with this problem and that many people have the same problem and do not know what the person selling them is doing. She asked me what parts I was missing or the wrong

This 16 oz water bottle has worked for my two budgies for 8 months with no problems. It only took the first bird a few minutes to figure out how to drink after I touched the ball valve with my fingertip to show it how it worked. The photos show one of my two birds drinking before bed tonight. What I particularly like is that the 16-ounce bottle keeps the water clean and will last you over 28 days, even with the occasional "extra drip" that doesn't mean anything. Last November, shortly after the

I've had four of these units in the last eight years. My first one lasted almost two years, worked great and didn't leak. I accidentally dropped it from the rack and it broke so I had to replace it. The second worked perfectly, didn't leak and lasted 5 years. After 5 years of washing in the dishwasher, the rubber stopper came loose and started leaking. It's my fault as he recommends washing hands. The last two I've bought in the last five months have been leaking since day one and the metal…

The water bottle itself is great, but I hate the gear that goes with it! Not everyone needs nuts filled with silicon (or whatever) to prevent the bird from ripping them off. My bird is not a hardware enthusiast and I would have preferred regular nuts or even wing nuts to be included as an option. Only people with birds who are passionate about removing gear should attach it using a socket wrench inside the cage to prevent the nut from moving and screwdrivers on the outside of the cage to…

This is a preliminary rating and relates to assembly and first impression only. It's very durable - metal hardware, a thick glass water reservoir and a sturdy fork. The holder is strong and holds the bottle firmly. It is difficult to mount and remove the bottle from the holder. Assembling: There are many parts, bolts and nuts. Two people took part in one part. And he has bad instructions. We're usually good at this type of project, but it took us 30-40 minutes. Here's a tip: in the instructions
