Placement of the water bottle

[cloudy]

I have a Rodipet drinking set which is meant to be for dwarf hamsters. I realise it is too high as Orko has to stand to drink. I put something in front of the bottle so he could stand on it. Since then he drinks less water. I tried removing that and he drinks again.

I have bought velcro and used it to lower the bottle. Since then I have read of hamsters trying to climb their water bottle and it falling on them. I have been looking for other free standing bottle holders but they have poor reviews. Does anybody know if it is safe for me to have his bottle lowered using the velcro? I was going to buy another bottle and velcro it to another place so he the choice of two bottles. He will not use a water bowl.

The other option is to buy the niteangel free standing water bottle holder. I am just not sure if I can use another water bottle as their bottle has poor reviews while the actual holder seems good.
