does anyone have any suggestions for good quality water dispensers for fancy
mice?
i have been using the common ball-bearing type (are they known as gravity?)
but find that they constantly drip, even when brand new :-((
i read somewhere that a homemade one can be constructed using a normal
plastic bottle and maybe string or wool? as a way of getting the water to
the rodents.
i'm constantly changing the shavings in the cages as they are soaked within
a few days.

What can i do???



TIA

leave me the hell alone!

Try putting a small margerine container under the bottle, and cut a notch in it
so the mice can get in easily, but the water will drip into the container
instead of the bedding.

I use one of those small food dishes for water although for some reaons one
of my mice likes to poop in it so I have to change it often.
