Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which small pets is the Oxbow Chew Proof Glass Water Bottle designed for?

Ans: This water bottle is designed for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice. Its chew-resistant glass and stainless-steel construction make it well-suited to pets that tend to gnaw on their habitat accessories throughout the day.

Q2: What sizes does this water bottle come in?

Ans: The Chew Proof Glass Water Bottle comes in three sizes: 8 ounces, 16 ounces, and 32 ounces. Choose based on your pet's size and daily water needs; larger pets or multi-pet habitats typically need the larger sizes.

Q3: How do I set up the bottle to prevent leaking?

Ans: Fill the bottle to capacity with room-temperature water, then tighten the sipper and slowly invert the bottle to form a seal. A few drops may fall as the vacuum forms, but it shouldn't drip afterward.

Q4: How is the water level monitored in this bottle?

Ans: A floating disc indicator inside the bottle is visible through the clear glass, showing the remaining water at a glance. Volume markings printed on the bottle also make it easy to track your pet's daily water consumption over time.

Q5: How does this bottle attach to my pet's habitat?

Ans: The bottle includes attachment hooks and clips that secure it to the outside of your pet's habitat. Its smooth, flat side fits flush against the cage wall, providing a stable installation that saves space inside the enclosure.

Q6: What's the difference between the Chew Proof and Dripless water bottles?

Ans: The Chew Proof bottle is made of glass and stainless steel with a gravity-fed, drip-resistant sipper. The Dripless bottle uses clear plastic and a spring-based mechanism that creates a fully leak-proof seal, according to Oxbow.

Q7: What materials is this water bottle made of?

Ans: The bottle body is made from chew-resistant glass, while the sipper tube and hardware are stainless steel. According to Oxbow, both materials are 100% pet-safe and built to withstand regular chewing over time.

Q8: How often should I clean the water bottle?

Ans: Clean the bottle and sipper tube regularly with warm water and a bottle brush to prevent buildup and maintain hygiene. Regular cleaning also helps you spot early signs of wear so you can replace parts before they fail.

Q9: Why might this water bottle still drip occasionally?

Ans: Occasional dripping usually means the vacuum seal wasn't fully formed during filling. Refilling and re-sealing the bottle correctly, following the fill-and-invert steps, typically resolves this. If dripping persists, inspect the sipper and glass for damage or wear.
