[lurche 48]

well its right fill them up and they dont leek lol also got a stainless bowl underneath whats half full of water so think they can get more than enough

Its always a problem water. Drink bottles often leak and we all know ferts love to turn over water bowls.

I used a chicken drinker in the run I had attached to their hutch wasnt a problem it it leaked cos it went on the ground.

Recon these would work OK???

I've got a chicken drinker in with my Jill at the moment and shes fine with it, the only problem is sawdust getting in it but I've put it up on a paving slab now so has reduced that and also helps keep the claws down

Most new water bottles leak at first, just give the nozzle a good shake and let the ball riquoshet up and down the tube, this normally works

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

Had 2 of them, nearly killed one of my ferrets.

 

The ferrets got the bowl free from the wire frame and got it stuck in the pop hole to the next floor, missus found the ferret hanging with it's head stuck in the gap between the wood and the bowl.

 

Luckily she found it in time and after rubbing it thoroughly and bringing it in the house for a bit it was fine.

 

Don't use them at all now. Dry food is in a small dog bowl so they can't tip it over and water in a

Medium sized bottle.

 

Might swap to a chicken water dispenser like this
