After 2 months, this bottle rusted where the metal meets the plastic bottle. Not recommended. This used to be a good brand but in recent years, their bottles leak or rust quickly.

Not for small critters I guess :-(, Aug 13 2011

We bought 4 mice and love watching them rock around their wheel. It's cool. They are small critters though and seem to be nearly unable to get any water out of this bottle. It doesn't leak, it has the opposite problem. It appears they may not have enough bulk/girth/weight to move the little ball enough to get any water flow. When we squeeze the water bottle such that drips form on the end, the mice come running and chug, chug, chug! I mean all four sit there and drink like they have never drank before! So I have little to no confidence these mice are getting the water they need to thrive. I even reduced the amount of water in the bottle to decrease downward pressure on the ball at the end but I'm still not sure they can get any water. We are so glad we got the mice, and when we get tired of them we can let them out and run around and play with our cat! OK, I'm kidding :-) So I may just take this bottle back to the pet store. I would not recommend purchasing this water bottle if you have little mouseys.

Well my parents got me this for my rabbit since our last bottle was flooding his cage and when we tried bowls for a while he would knock them over. So they decided to help me out and looked around for a decent bottle, that's where this comes in. It was advertised to minimize drip, says so on the bottle. Well it did that for a good two weeks, now it's leaking an alarming amount so i had to take it off. I was so sure this would be the bottle i needed, but i was wrong. So if you're looking to buy one, it's a gamble, since some have reported good things while I have the opposite.

I had decided to stick it out with this bottle and after a while it stopped acting up as it had before.
It drips occasionally now but only when i refill it with water and the dripping is to be expected.
Now it serves it purpose and I won't need to go hunting for more bottles!
