Lixit Wide Mouth Small Animal Water Bottle

I have 6 of these water bottles and I absolutely love them! If you follow directions on the bottle and fill them completely up to where water is flowing out, you'll shake the water out of the piece you screw back on and after you screw it back on gently squeeze it to where air can be heard going in and release the bottle and it will create a suction so water doesn't leak out. On the original packaging it shows and tells you how to do it.

I tried this with my 5 1/2 month old and 3 month old Shih Tzu's to keep their little faces dry, but it leaks way too much. I put a bowl under it to catch the leaks and the 3 month old drinks that instead of using the bottle. I gave it to my DIL for their outdoor animals.. Not Chewy's fault at all and at least it's being used elsewhere.

I like the style of the water bottle. I thought it was a good size but unfortunately it leaked out completely within the same day of filling it. I’d come back home to a soaked cage every single day.

I had Rabbits & Guinea Pigs for many years. The wide mouth Lixit was my favorite bottle because it was easier to clean. Usually if there is issues with the bottle, it is the vacuum in the bottle. Squeezing the bottle or working the ball tip would usually fix the problem.

I didn’t notice how much it leaked for a couple weeks. But suddenly we were filling up the bottle twice a day. Had to switch back to an old bottle until getting a new one.

You have to fill it completely full and screw the lid on tight for it to work properly!

I waited to write this review until we owned the water bottle about a month and a half. We have always had problems with the water bottles leaking. We have had all sizes and types. Our bunny wouldn't use the one we bought that promised absolutely no leaks. It was too hard for him to push on. This one has two ball bearings and holds the water perfectly! It will leak a few drops throughout the week at the end of the water cycle but other than that it is perfect! I highly recommend the Lixit water bottle for your bunny.

I bought several different kinds of bottles for comparison to find the best one for my rabbits. So far this bottle is working really well. It was the easiest to attach to the cage because there is no fidgeting with the springs the other bottles normally come with. It holds plenty of water and my little bunny can get the needed amount of water from it with ease. I have not experienced any leaks and seems to be working very well.

I bought three of these for my two GPs. I had to replace an older bottle (a different brand) because the cap cracked, and I was intrigued by the largemouth opening for easier cleaning. All three LIXIT bottles leak terribly and flooded out my pigs' cages within a day. While finding water bottles that DON'T leak seems to be akin to searching for the Holy Grail, these are a brand I would avoid altogether.

This is a well constructed, sturdy bottle (the bottle itself). I loved the fact it was 32 ounces, so I wouldnt be constantly refilling it for my lil cavy; the rubber gasket around the cap sealed the bottle shut. HOWEVER, my good comments end there. From that gasket to the roller ball, something is not right - water streamed through this like a sieve. No dripping, just consistent water flow. The bottle never made it to the habitat. Its garbage.
