To add to the thread: I’m not sure if I’ve just gotten crazy lucky or what but I’ve had a lot of success with the Kaytee glass bottles. I still have the one I used for my first hamster and it works great; it’s in my mouse bin atm. I also got another that, at first, wasn’t that great, but sometimes if you twist spout on top hard the water becomes leaky so I just learned to not go too hard on it.

The tea light holder is 5x5 cm and he full on purposely jumped in like a child excited to go into a pool.
I've taken it out and will be off tomorrow to find something more shallow. Does it matter if it's wide? Just trying to find something small and shallow is near impossible
