I did have a couple of glass bottles but I tend to drop things. I dont have these but will. They are on the list of thing for me to buy soon. I have heard good things all round about these bottles. They are pricey but cheaper than buying new ones all the time. You will also need to buy this to attach it to the cage. Kat x

pets at home sells a glass bottle that has a metal clip to hold the bottle in and then there is a metal spring that holds the bottle at the top! its not too pricey either! i bought one as i had the same problem as you! there is no chance they can ruin this one

I've got the Superpet glass bottle from ebay or UKpetsupplies, it's great.

You can also shove a plastic water bottle into a beverage can with bottom cut off.

I have had my John Hopewell bottle for 2 years and they are amazing. They also don't leak and the inside of the bottle stays cleaner than the traditional bottles you get in the store. I highly recommend them.
Also because the lid screws off you never have to remove the bottle to fill it I just have a plastic measuring jug I take in and the bottle stays where it is.

I had that problem... Espeacialy with Taco 'cause he's so small, and his teeth and the tip of his nose can reach through the bars and really nibble at it. Tried glass bottles, it kept falling down. So then I tried a square glass bottle, which had a a little thing on it to keep the mmetal thing holding it on, it stayed and they couldn't chew it
