I use them cheap ones. I buy a handful and accept that some are going to leak. the majority of them dont leak but there always seem to be 1 or 2 that do.

I use those big 1 litre bottles for mine. I put one of theese under their bottles works a treat.

also if you unscrew it you may see the bit thats causing the problem, often a little plastic seam sticking up you can sometimes just cut it off

Spout is much better for ferrets as its thicker and bigger ball-bearing. Those others i think are more for hamsters.

You have to fill them till there is no air at all in them and then it creates a vacuum which prevents them dripping. My missus does the little girls pets ones wrong and they leak like feck.

[joe14 98]

Once you've filled the bottle. If you squeeze the bottle so the some water comes out and the bottle will create a vaccum that way you will

see it bubbling.
