Lixit Bell Style Aquarium Cage Water Bottle (5 Ounce, Clear)

This water bottle works great! I sort of wish that the metal hanger was longer for taller tanks. At first the water bottle was leaking out in a day. I don't know what changed, but after a week, it stopped. I do not recommend putting "cold" water in the bottle.... because as the water heats up to room temperature.... the water molecules expand and will make the bottle leak. It's best to put room temp or a smidge warmer than room temp, so that the water bottle is less likely to leak. I was close to returning it, but it works fine now! I am very happy with this design as the mice are unable to chew the water bottle. Thank you kindly for an aquarium water bottle solution!! 😊✌️

Great for aquarium with metal mesh top. No leaks!

It did not work at all , the ball in the tub was not big enough to hold the water. It would leak constantly and empty out within an hour

I had a lot of trouble with this when I first received it. It kept dripping uncontrollably, as others have warned it might. It turns out that it is just a problem with the seal that can be fixed without too much trouble. It was easier than all the instructions I'll post below, but you'll get the idea. When I reported the problem with the seller and asked for help, this was the response, which did fix the problem!"Try filling up a container of water that you can put into the water bottle. Use a glass or something to put the water in and let it stand at room temperature for at least an hour. The water that comes out of your faucet is at a different temperature than the room, we need to get the water as close to room temperature as possible. After you have done that, check the lid on the bottle. Unscrew the lid and make sure the black rubber seal is inside the lid and securely in place. If it is not securely in place, then put it in place to help ensure a seal. Now run your finger around the edge of the bottle opening. There should be no bumps or imperfections on the edge around the opening. This is where the rubber seal from the lid will make contact. If there are any bumps or imperfections you might be able to file them down using an emery board that you use to file finger nails. Once you have checked all of that and the water has adjusted to room temperature, fill the bottle with the water and seal it closed. Try installing the bottle in the cage. It will drip at first until a seal is formed within the tube. If it continues to drip, you can try “priming” the tube by touching the bottle of it a few times with your finger to allow water to drip out. Sometimes this will help “prime” the seal. The water at room temperature is very important."

I have a tall cage for mice I’m breeding. Needed a larger size. It overall it works

I ordered 2 of these as I'm breeding mice for my reptiles and after opening one and filling it (I didn't even think to check the seal) I put it in the tank and it leaked all over the inside of their tank - when I took it out to inspect it I noticed the lid was missing the seal completely - since I bought 2 and wasn't using the second quite yet I was able to just swap the lods as the other did have the seal but it doesn't change the fact that I have 1 that's basically useless. Unless of course if I want a soaked tank & bedding for my mice. Other than that the rest of it (bottle and wire) are perfect fine and I would recommend - just make sure that yours comes with the seal!

Works good!

The lids on Kritter Keepers have a circular disc that you can pop out. This lixit bottle fits that hole and the rubber o-ring holds it in place. This is a great option if you use this style of cage / carrier for transport or for housing male mice individually.

I was worried he wouldn't use it but he seems to love it more than the traditional, fits on his aquarium really well :D

brill just what i need very happy with this just one let down had to add more wiry to it as was not very long

Came in on exact date.

Just a pity that this particular Luxury product doesn't seem to be imported to the UK so shipping cost from the US makes it expensive. But thought it worth paying the extra, have now had 3 of these. Just make sure the sharp toothed little rascals can't reach and chew the tab on top it hangs by!

I should have listened to the other reviews that said it wasn't good and it leaks...It 100% leaksDon't waste your money.
