Ok, so I have a regular cage for my hamster and she seems okay but I have also recently gotten her a big sterilite type bin. I love it, she loves it, everyone is happy. EXCEPT I can't find a water bottle that does NOT LEAK!!! I'm so frustrated! I finally got one that suctioned to the side (which was HARD to come by) and it was working well until my daughter "adjusted" it and now it leaks all the time too or even worse doesnt give ANY water at all.

What kinds do you use? How do you attach it to a bin and any other suggestions would be helpful. I won't move her to a more comfy home until I can guarantee she has adequate water supply!!

Thanks in advance!

I use the flat back bottles in my bins. I normally use one by Lixit with a lil float turtle thing in it, and I also have a flat back Superpet with a lil floatee duck. They come with lil screws, and holders, drill a whole connect, and never had a leak since. I will look for a link of them. BRB..

I use the snaplock bracket and the screw, and drilled a whole in my bin.
