Default Toast won't stop biting her water bottle!

Ok a few things first,

I'm typing this on my iPhone so bare with me.

Ok, now to the matter at hand.

My ham Toast keeps on biting her water bottle at the back of it. Let me explain. The way it is set up is so only the part that she drinks from pokes through and she keeps on biting the very back part of the water bottle that is showing. I know she is getting water from it as I see its level decreasing each day. I just do not understand her reason for biting at it.

The bottles tip pokes through a hole we drilled specifically for the bottle tip. Maybe she is trying to make the hole larger? I'm not quite sure though. It is night as I am posting this and will go to bed after I do post it so I won't be showing pictures but I might in the morning as the whole contraption we set up is kind of confusing to put into words.

Thanks for letting me ramble

You could cut a small piece of mesh wire out, then cut a hole in the middle so the water bottle fits through. Then attach the mesh to the side where the hole is that she's chewed. She wont be able to access the water bottle then.

I hope that makes sense? it's hard to understand how it looks without seeing a picture

I'll upload a picture then. Like I said it's very complicated to put into words, but the part where the water is stored isn't actually in the cage.

Hope that makes more sense.
