Description
Rabbits and ferrets chew everything, and a plastic water bottle is usually the first casualty. The Kaytee Chew-Proof Water Bottle answers that with a glass bottle and a stainless steel cap and sipper tube, so there is nothing soft enough for a determined chewer to destroy. Pick 12 ounce for guinea pigs, chinchillas and rabbits in a standard habitat, or 26 ounce for ferrets, full-size rabbits and anything that empties a small bottle by mid-afternoon. Both sizes use the same spring attachment hanger, which clips the bottle securely to wire cage panels from inside or outside, and the same double ball-bearing sipper tube that resists the constant dripping that soaks bedding. A floating duck rides on the water line as a refill reminder you can read across the room.
Key Features

How to Use
- Remove the hanger, rinse the bottle and fill to the maximum fill line — do not overfill, as the bottle needs an air pocket to dispense.
- Screw the cap on tightly and flip the bottle over.
- Clip the spring attachment hanger to the wire cage, then slide the bottle in so it rests on the security hanger.
- Set the sipper tube at a height your pet reaches with their head level, not stretched up.
- Expect a few drops while the vacuum forms; that is normal and stops on its own.
- Empty, rinse and refill daily, and run a bottle brush through it weekly.

Bottles are one of the few small-animal items genuinely worth buying once and buying properly. A plastic bottle chewed through overnight means a pet without water and a cage full of it, and rabbits and ferrets get through plastic quickly. Glass and stainless steel removes that risk entirely. Check the sipper tube every day when you refill — a stuck ball bearing is the one failure mode left, and a quick tap to confirm water releases takes two seconds and tells you the bottle is working.
