Euro Rabbit Plastic Drinker, 1000 ml

Bought three of these for a new 2 tier and an outdoor cage, also ended up buy 2 more for my Dad. I set up my cage yesterday, first I found the first drinker had no tap! Just a plastic case, the second and 3rd had taps but the holes on their cases were too big so I tried the case with no tap and the thread on the cases was no good, regardless, I tried adding water and obviously they leaked. I checked with my Dad and he said he's had to add bowls under his to stop the water wrecking his cages, so overall these are clearly not checked before dispatch - I mean a simple rattle would solve a serious problem and doing simple quality controls would reduce what is clearly a massive problem.

This water bottle is well designed in concept: it fills from the top, is easy to clean, the lid keeps dust and dirt out and it has a valve rather than the traditional ball bearing and spout arrangement of other rabbit water bottles. However, there was no 'O' ring washer on the valve fitting I received so it doesn't form a tight seal with the bottle and constantly drips. I was able to improvise by setting the valve on mine within a seal of BluTak but without it there is nothing to prevent the bottle dripping until empty.I had hoped mine was from a faulty batch but judging by the rest of the reviews reporting similar dripping, it looks as though mine is not be a one-off.

All went well for a week and then one morning came down to my Rabbits indoor cage and found the nozzle snapped off! The water had saturated the sawdust. Plastic must be a brittle type not polypropylene which is flexible and strong. Disappointed it failed so soon. In every aspect it was really good apart from this weakness.

I have been using a German made drinker that looks like these for years without any problems. I decided to purchase three of these despite reading the feedback of others. What a mistake. Every component is defective. There is still plastic swarf in the drilled holes. The plastic is so soft that it cuts away when fitting the drinker tube to the body. The washer is thinner than supermarket economy ham and the metal components inside the drinker tube will never stop water from leaking as they are rough and poorly cast. Extremely disappointed by this product and returned for refund.

Had to be returned as dripping. Not dripping as much as the Ferplast Sippy water bottle but still a little. And the idea of attaching it to the outside of the cage is very good, but would need two clips at least. My ferret easily managed to turn it upside down wetting everything. Also the top is just so easy to open, would need some clips. My ferrets loves diving so when she was let outside the cage she could just flip it up with her nose and get into the water :) Maybe good for rabbits or those animals that are not so excited about diving and wont bother with trying to get into the water bottle. Not for ferrets anyway!

Received this item today and was surprised to receive 3 'bottles' or water containers BUT only ONE spout. I'm hoping to receive 2 more spouts as the actual water container would be useful without the bit that will allow the rabbits to drink the water

Drips water not very good, very cheap, had the first ones replaced as teat split and threads stripped, not worth the money.
