I like the attachment system and the floaty. But I bought it as a back up for our hamster while we were on vacation and it didn’t work. When I got back, it was full so I checked and no water would come out. It took quite a bit of effort to get the water flowing, more than my hamster would have been able to do. Luckily, his main bottle didn’t run out.

It’s alright. The plastic is pretty cheap and it came with a hole in it but I fixed it with some super glue. It’s good for it’s price. It leaked a little but was fine after I fixed that hole. It’s not for glass cages but it’s easy to make it that way by picking up some command strips from Walmart or something. Works alright for my robo hamster and cost friendly :)

This water bottle is a good value, leaks significantly less than similar bottles and holds a good amount of water. My only con is that it works best on cages that have close knit horizontal and vertical bars. Our cage is mostly verticals bars with a few horizontal bars and installation was not ideal. I had to engineer some solutions to try and get it to stay. Still falls off sometimes but I’m keeping it since it doesn’t leak much.

Sooooo I was initially very frustrated with this set up. The bottle kept falling off the cage. The clip that holds it on seemed flimsy. Id put the bottle on and as soon as my piggies would come take a sip, boom, on the floor it would go. But it didnt leak!!! I thought maybe it was defective so I bought another one. Then and only then did I discover the product is great and Im an idiot. I some how had the clip on backwards. Figured that out and viola. No more falling.The only thing I would like better is if the little floater thing to see water level was a little bigger and didnt come out the bottle so easily.

I have used these water bottles for many years and my cockatiels have no problem using them. The only issue is after a long time, they can become a bit brittle from all the washing/drying. Clumsy me drops one occasionally and they can break, as I have found out, if they hit my hardwood floors. I used to get them at the big box pet stores, but they no longer carry them and then I thought maybe I could find them here. So I ordered 4. They secure well to cages and it's better for the birds to use as poop has a way of finding it's way into water bowls. You do need to get your bird accustomed to them. I hung the bottle next to their water dish and curiosity got them to try it.

I ordered this water bottle for my hedgehog. The reason I purchased was because it is suppsed to be a good water bottle that will not accidentally cut/pinch the animals tongue when drinking from it. I haven't had any problems with this water bottle, and it seems to be good quality. It was a little tricky figuring out how to attach it properly but I got it figured out. I replaced the water bottle that came with the cage when I bought it and I was very happy to see that this one doesn't LEAK like the other bottle was. So overall a great value for the price!

I loved my old Lixit bottles, so I was severely disappointed in these. The "locking" mechanism is a cute idea, but totally unnecessary, as the old ones never got knocked off the cage. Locking the bottles in just adds a bit of extra work to take them down to refill. But the real problem with these new bottles is the horrid cheap plastic which is so flexible that the gentlest touch will squeeze in the sides and make water come squirting out. I cannot install or remove the bottle from the cage without making a puddle. And the redesigned caps are a nightmare. The old bottles had caps that simply screwed on or off. But these new ones have a rubber cork that holds the drinking spout. And when you try to tighten the cap, the cork turns so that the spout no longer faces the direction it needs to go to be inside the cage when the bottle is hung. So you have to loosen the cap, readjust the spout and retighten several times before it comes out right. Please, please bring back the old design!

This bottle cracked after about a month of use (on the flat back part, along the seam that runs through the 'nub' which locks into the cage-fitting/holder piece).I did not handle it roughly or do anything different than I have with my primary bottle, which is this same bottle in a smaller size (10 or 12oz, I believe). I wanted a secondary bottle for my ratty, who is a king in his double Ferret Nation castle and liked having more than one bottle scattered about the cage. My 10oz (12oz?) Lixit Cage Snuggler has outlasted countless other bottles, which come and go. I cannot be alone in the frustrating experience with these small animal water bottles -- they are just plain unreliable. Many do not work from the get-go; some models have bad suction and dribble, some models are generally good but still have lemons.So, I give this product a 3-star rating in the hopes that I just got a lemon; as I said, the smaller one of this same model has lasted me a couple years now.P.S. By the way, I always take the turtles/ducks out of these things. They annoy me and fall out whenever I go to change the water. In my opinion, if you need a plastic turtle to show you when the water is almost out, you should reconsider having a pet -- drinking water should be changed well before the animal drinks the entire bottle. Unless, of course, the bottle is being emptied every day or two because either a.) the bottle is leaking, or b.) the bottle is too small for the animal. Either way, the bottle should probably be replaced at that point so you don't drown or dehydrate your pet -- again rendering the turtle useless.
