As for reaching the bottle spout, all you need to do is take some plain strips of pine (off-cuts from DIY store or a cheap pine shelf) saw a few pieces about six inches in width and depth and place this under the spout as a stepping stone and cover with shavings. I use to stagger them like little steps! The fiddlestix is fine, but a flat wooden surface would be better for them.
Oh, I've already bought one, but was going to put it in the cage with the other bottle, so they have two. Will see if they can work out how to use it, if not I can always take it back

And thanks for the step idea, did you use any adhiesive of some sort? Like pet safe glue to do the little steps? Thanks! x
