I have been using these water bottles for several years and they are my top choice of bottle. They are very reliable, and unlike other bottles, have never leaked or stopped working for me. The 75ml size can be hung from the side of a tank with normal self-adhesive velcro. The only disadvantage is that they are plastic. If used inside an enclosure, gerbils might chew them. I also find that they can be hard to clean. The plastic can melt if cleaned with too hot water. Sometimes I put them in the dishwasher and half the time it's fine, the other half of the time they come out melted!

Strange that they sometimes melt! Perhaps it depends where in the dishwasher they're put? Might be a little cooler towards the outside??
As for the being chewed, you could make a guard out of mesh.

The non-dripping is a huge plus - even if they occasionally melt!
There is nothing worse than returning home from work to find the entire corner of an enclosure all soggy. Thanks for this review - I will seek these out for sure myself.
And by your cleaning issue - are you referring to the lip/corner/edge under the opening being difficult to reach?

Yes, the edge is awkward to clean, and just the fact that you can't use very hot water.
