For some reason the UK seems to just not have bottle guards,which is so strange!

A wire seed feeder or fat ball feeder for garden birds can fit a bottle in. They attach to cages easily. Tanks may harder.

You could weave Velcro through the wire and then see if it will sick to Velcro on the glass or you may have to have something long enough to have the holder low enough in the tank that also fits over the top edge of the tank.

Hi there
Just thought I would let you know I've started selling my own water bottle holder (designed to fit the Living World bottle) on my website which is a lot cheaper than Living World's own bottle holder product.

My website is Hamster Homes - Natural Homes & Accessories for Small Pets

Here is the link to the bottle holder itself:
Hamster Homes Shop - Bottle Holder for Living World Small Pet Glass Water Bottle

If you're good at DIY, you could make something similar?

Thank you very much for the links! I will probably get my dad to make something like that. Thank you xx

Maybe you can make two little holes in the wall of the cage, and put... I don't know how to call them, they are like tiny screws with circular ends, you can hang the living world bottle directly to the little screws (sorry for my english, I am working and I am in a hurry! )

Oasis make tiny hourglass shaped bottles that are I believe around 1 oz,which is quite small.They do however make relatively good bottles that are around 4 oz which come with bottle guards,and I think they're called bell bottles or something like that due to the shape.The spout itself is pretty good on those,closer to horizontal than vertical.

Small bottle are better than large as long as they hold enough water. Fresh water is given each day so a smaller bottle means less water is wasted.
