Auto-fill water bottle with metal cup praised for preventing spills and easy refilling. Customers said "no leak, no dirty" and appreciated animals couldn't tip it. Some reported issues with stability, attachment difficulty, and bowl getting dirty quickly. Mixed feedback on dispensing reliability and cleaning ease. Works well for rabbits, ferrets, rats, quails.
The Good:
• Really cleverly designed. The parts that come separate from other parts make it easier to attach to the cage, and the plug makes it easy to take the tank off to clean without water getting everywhere. It's simple to put together
• Does not leak
• Easy to refill
• My rabbit cannot tip this water bowl over or stand in it!
The Bad:
• I specifically requested they NOT ship in manufacturer's packaging so it wouldn't get all busted up. They did it anyway and wouldn't you know it, the part that holds the tank to the cage is severely bent! (see photo)
• If the wiring on your cage isn't incredibly thick and tight like mine isn't (it's chicken wire), the weight of the water tank is gonna pull a little and make the tank tip back, meaning water doesn't flow as easily into the bowl. Still gauging if it affects my bunny's ability to hydrate or not, but I can imagine it's annoying for her to drink from!
• I had to cut some of my cage's wire to be able to attach this because the connectors sat between two gaps. Not inherently a flaw since it might be hard to make that adjustable but worth mentioning
I kept the item because I think I can find a way to resolve my 2nd problem... if I do, then honestly, this would be kind of perfect!

I love the overall design and the durable plastic, though it may be a little over-engineered for what it needs to be. The spout at the bottom has unique geometry that is difficult to clean and does not empty completely, but the opaque material reduces algae growth. The bowl fills when empty and provides fresh water on demand, but if the whole kit leans even slightly, the water can spill out the back or sides until the reservoir is empty. Most disappointing is that the plastic piece holding the metal bowl is both inside the cage, where bunnies can chew on it, and very thin. I got about 7 months of use out of mine before my rabbit destroyed it. For the price it is lackluster. Bottom line: I would not recommend the bowl drinker design. The nipple model would probably fare better.
Awesome and super easy set up!!! Nice clean water for my quails, and helps me give them more room and it’s off the ground so it will have less chance of getting dirty & came quicker than expected!!!!

I really like that you don't have to take it off cage and unscrew to refill, you just open lid and pour water in and done. I like the metal cup for rabbits because they chew on plastic. I installed my waterer on a quail cage and it works great for them, quail like to take water baths and this prevents them from being able to sit in the waterer
Doesn’t last long.
Bought the old design 5 years ago and couldn't be happier with new design! Every issue i had got fixed with the re design and it works great! Got 2 to try and all 26 rabbits will get them before end of fall
Love this waterer I got it for my rabbits. It’s easy to install, fill and clean. I definitely recommend
I hung it up in my rabbits cage and worked perfectly for maybe 8 hours. Refilled and it won’t dispense any water now.
I use these for all my rabbits and the bigger ones for growout cages. Pretty chew proof for the most part though there is plastic on the inside that can be chewed. Holds a decent amount of water. My only con is that its not very sturdy on the top and causes it to flip to the side sometimes spilling water or caused it to leak. Mine is the one with the spring and not the black plastic part though so not sure if it changed.

My bunny tips the dish and drains the water.
This is the 4th water bottle I’ve ordered for my bunnies. The others didn’t fit on the cage and overflowed or dripped. This one is perfect! The height is completely customizable, so will fit weird bar spacing. The bowl only refills when they push it down, so it doesn’t overflow. 10/10!
It works but it gets gross in the bowl so often from I'm guessing food left in my guinea pigs mouth but it's the best option I've found.
I suppose it depends on what your usage for this is. I got it for my guinea pigs cage, bc I have such a hard time finding a bottle that won't leak. But the piggies just did NOT get this thing. They used it to stand on, spilling most of the water. The way it attaches is not very secure at all, either. I couldn't get it to stop wobbling or rocking back and forth, no matter where or how I attached and tightened it. Bummer that it didn't work for me, so I did return it.

Muy bueno la verdad, solo o lo recomiendo para hamster
32 oz waterer. I thought I ordered the 64 oz one but this tiny one arrived. I can use it, though. I like the stainless cup instead of plastic. Great little spare water dispenser for a small coop of 4 chickens or for an isolated chicken’s cage. Not for the main waterer for more than one adult chicken. Too small for that. But I keep water inside the coop at night for the 4 ladies - just in case anything goes awry with the automatic door & they can’t get out into their run, they have what they need for the day or until I get to them & this is great for that. So far no leaks, easy to clean. Designed with the option to fill from outside the coop or crate so you don’t disturb the animal.
This bottle is so great I purchased a second one. I love being able to fill from the outside of the cage. The bowl is large and easy for my ferrets to drink from. The bottle itself holds about the same as a regular (human) water bottle. Haven't had any problems with leakage and the included stopper makes changing the bottle/bowl super easy with little to no mess. It's also much quieter than the spout versions with the roller ball.
It can be a bit difficult to fit the base of the kneck of the bowl through the cage but that's because it's a critter nation and the gap is fairly small. Because of all the small parts, it's a bit more complicated to clean than a regular water bottle, which is why I bought a second one, but I think that's just the nature of this kind of water bottle.

I'm buying more of these eventually. My ferrets go through water like crazy and those bottles with ball stem not only make them work hard for a drop, they are hard to fill, hard to clean and eventually leak. I've had this rent a coop for months. Never had to clean yet, stays clean, I flop up top, pour fresh spring water in, I have one ferret who is picky about what he'll drink out of and almost died from refusal to drink from the bowls I tried when I first bought him, I had to give him water from a syringe which he drank from greedily. This rent a coop waterer is a favorite for my ferrets and Is so easy to fill ,doesn't leak &I don't know what sorcery is behind the always clean , no sludge or slime on wall status but rentacoop gravity waterer are the ultimate best I've ever used in my 45 years of using waterers!

I got this for my Mini Rex rabbit. His water bottle was not working for him and it’s easier for rabbits to drink out of a bowl anyways. I was worried the dish would be too small for his head, but he easily drinks out of it and really seems to enjoy it compared to his standard water bottle. Another concern I had was his bedding getting in the bowl even if it’s suspended in the air. I’m happy to report that the wood chips don’t usually get in the dish but if they do it’s so easy to clean out, just twist, wipe and then twist it back. Boom, clean water. It can be difficult to twist the pieces together through the cage depending on the size of the wire, but it’s really easy to refill which is nice. It does come with a rubber plug so you don’t have to worry about the water spilling everywhere when removing it. Overall, it’s an amazing product!
