My guinea pig knows how to use it and will take drinks between bites. I like that it is metal because he chews on everything!

The customer service for this company is amazing. I was accidentally sent a plastic cap instead of a metal cap, and my rabbit chewed it. They tested a new bottle to make sure it wouldn’t leak and sent a new bottle and were very through in explaining everything. When I got off the phone I said to my husband that “that was the best customer service I’ve ever received and I said I wish all customer service was that great!” He said “yes, she was very helpful and informative.” (He heard the conversation because I had it on speaker phone). Thank you Livit Company.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
It was glass, and non chewable.

Works really well. I just wish I could find something to fit in the little while to clean the inside out.

I have rats and always had issues finding good water bottles that didn’t leak or break after a few months of use. I’ve had this bottle for over a year now and it still works amazing. The quality is really good and I have no complaints at all. I never have 1 leak. As mentioned in some other reviews there is a specific way to tighten this bottle so if people say it leaks it could be because they tightened it incorrectly. You need to make sure everything is dry when screwing the top on as well, as any water around the opening of the bottle or in the plastic/rubber cover will prevent a good seal. When screwing the top on it’s best to start with the spout facing the flat side of the bottle, and then you hold the spout itself still while turning the plastic cover clockwise. After you feel you’ve tightened the cover enough you then turn the spout clockwise as well until it’s tight. This will take you a fair bit of trial and error to get right but after you get it once it’s so easy to do every other time. You want the tightened spout to be facing the flat side of the water bottle when you’re done as well. If your spout is tightened anywhere not facing the flat side then you should loosen and try again, it really is a lot of fine tuning to get it just right but once you do this bottle will not leak. It’s also really easy for rats to use, and I haven’t noticed my boys struggle to get a sufficient water flow or anything. The ball bearing moves easily for them as it is light and never gets stuck in the spout. The bottle is very easy to clean as well. Also the turtle floater is adorable, love that little guy (although be careful when emptying the water bottle in the sink as the turtle floaty is small enough to go down the drain). I highly recommend this bottle, especially to other rat parents.

I bought these to make sure my parrots always have clean water. I was afraid that they wouldn’t take to them but I was wrong. Within a day they were both drinking from them as if they had been doing it for years.

I used this for a pair of cockatiels. The birds took a very long time to figure out how to get water from this. What I ended up doing was placing it inside their cage, just above a glass of water – this seemed to help them to finally figured it out.

After so many water bottles I’ve tried, only these ones didn’t leak.

Edit: Within a month the plastic cap has split. Incredibly disappointing because this was such a good product otherwise. The plastic can’t handle the vacuum. They never should have changed from a metal one. I’ve also had to push one of the two metal balls in the tube down to get it unstuck because it was blocking all water, so check that if you aren’t getting anything out. Original: Every water bottle I’ve had has leaked like crazy, but this one hasn’t leaked AT ALL. Genuinely amazed by this. This is saving me so much water and bedding. It’s also very secure on the cage. The glass is thick and strong. It is a bit of deceptive marketing because they still have the metal cap shown, but these definitely have plastic caps. It works amazing for the money, though. My rats have been using it just fine. Testing the spout, it’ll take a moment to get anything out, but it does start flowing after a few seconds and the girls seem to have the hang of that. For four rats it holds a good amount of water. A little difficult to figure out exactly how you’re supposed to attach it to the cage even with the instructions, though. Takes some finagling to get it both the height you want it and set up on the wire holder properly. The spring is simple, of course.

Over the last two years I have bought three glass water bottles in the 12 ounce size. The first one I bought about a year ago in 2023 and it was just like in the pictures with a stainless steel cap and worked great. The other two I just purchased in June 2024 and they have plastic caps that do not feel like they are anywhere near as good of quality as the steel ones from the year before. I decided to give them a try anyway and the plastic cap makes it much more difficult to adjust the angle of the water tube itself as you tighten things – it wants to bind and not allow adjusting. But OK I can live with that – just an inconvenience compared to the old style. Next, when I went to mount the bottle to the cage the newer springs are now literally several times over longer than the one I received from last years bottle. OK – maybe that is better because too long of a spring can be adjusted shorter and maybe someone needs the longer spring so OK I’ll live with it as well. So I got the first one mounted. Then I go to rinse out and fill the second bottle from this 2024 order and there’s a hole in the bottle and water is leaking. There actually is a hole in the glass bottle as if it was formed that way. It is not a crack mind you – but instead a relatively clean hole about 1/8 inch in diameter. I’ll be returing the defective one and not buying these any more.
