richie 1 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 i never travel with the water bottle attached. after a journey the bottle will empty its self with all the bumping around. Quote Link to post
Hob&Jill 258 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I just use 2 pieces of garden wire, one at bottom one at top Or get one of those bowls that screw onto the wire. Quote Link to post

ferret15 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 those mini bungee cords that you can buy from pound shops work well attach one end to the cage wrap it round and attach the other end we can pull this much tighter than they are strong enough to move. Quote Link to post
jultaylor1972 2 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Try and get a spring that will fit around the bottle but make it a tight fit (If you know what I mean?) That way you can just leave it on the cage all the time and slot it in and out when changing the water, its probably much easier than the wire you got with the bottle. Or like H&J says, use a bowl that screws to the cage. Thats what I use and its never spilled. Quote Link to post

ferret15 0 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 when you get the new setup put the bottles higher up so they have to reach for the water this way they will be less likely to knock whatever your using to hold it on Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 have just got in from working nights, and aint gonna go take a picture, but will post one later, take a piece of wire mesh prefebably 3/4 squares 14 holes width x 13 holes long you would then cut 5x5 holes from the two bottom corners and then bend the remaining into a box shape, fix to cage with plastic ties and the drinker fits inside, being only open at the top, no way of it being dislodged re reading that you still wont be any wisher, I'll post a piccy later Quote Link to post
Madcowz 0 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 We use springs that we bought at the Ardingly Smallholders fair, they are designed to fit round bottles and have split rings at either end to attach to the wires. So much sturdier than the wire clips that come with the bottles and you don't have to take them off to change the water. Have tried to find a link on google/fleabay but no luck yet. /Mad Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 as promised, you should be able to see from the pictures, once cut and bent, hold the joins together with plastic ties, unless you have a hog ringer, the can then be either mounted to wall as shown, or even to a cage front and the bottle then faces opposite way Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 and lower for the kitts Quote Link to post
