max abell 196 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Never seen that type before mate we always use the normal large rabbit drinking bottles and when they are nackered or keep going green we buy some more they are only £1 each not the end of the world in the winter we always keep a seperate set in case the others freeze just swap em over and thaw out the frozen ones To get rid of algae, put some rice in the bottle, with washing up liquid and very hot water. Pop lid back on and shake vigorously. It gets all the green shite off Will give that a one a try next time Quote Link to post

Fat-Ferret 857 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 A gelatine strip in the water bottle stops it freezing, as will a clove of garlic, but the gelatine smells and no doubt tastes better for the ferrets. Quote Link to post
