How often should I clean the Lixit Chew-Proof Glass Water Bottle?
It’s recommended to clean the Lixit water bottle at least once a week to maintain hygiene, especially if it’s in daily use. For easier cleaning, use a bottle brush to scrub the interior and rinse thoroughly. This prevents any build-up of bacteria or debris that could contaminate the water.
Can the Lixit Glass Water Bottle be used outdoors?
Yes, the Lixit glass water bottle can be used outdoors as long as it is securely attached to a cage and out of direct sunlight. However, extreme temperatures can affect the glass, so it’s best used in a shaded, moderate-temperature environment to avoid the glass overheating or freezing.
Does the Lixit Chew-Proof Water Bottle leak?
The Lixit bottle is designed with a vacuum-valve system to prevent leaks. However, ensuring it’s securely attached and properly filled will optimize its leak-proof performance. If any leaking occurs, check for any debris around the ball bearing and make sure the cap is tightly sealed.

The Lixit Chew-Proof Glass Water Bottle is available in multiple sizes, including 6 oz, 12 oz, and 26 oz options, allowing pet owners to choose a capacity that matches their pet’s size and water consumption needs. For pets with high hydration needs, a larger capacity bottle may be more convenient.
Can I use the Lixit Glass Water Bottle for reptiles?
The Lixit Chew-Proof Glass Water Bottle is not typically recommended for reptiles, as many reptiles do not drink from a water tube. Most reptiles require water dishes or misting systems to stay hydrated, so consult with a veterinarian for appropriate hydration options.
How do I know if my pet is drinking from the Lixit Water Bottle?
You can monitor your pet’s water intake by checking the water level in the bottle. To test the flow, gently tap the ball bearing to ensure water releases properly. If you suspect your pet is not drinking, observe their behavior and consult with a veterinarian if necessary.
Can the Lixit Water Bottle be used for baby animals?
The Lixit water bottle is suitable for young animals once they can independently drink from a sipper tube. For very young or weak animals, consider consulting a vet, as they may require specialized hydration methods such as bottle feeding or a shallow water dish.
Is the Lixit Chew-Proof Glass Water Bottle compatible with any type of cage?
The Lixit bottle can be attached to most wire cages, either on the inside or outside. It includes a mounting clip that securely fastens to standard cage bars. However, it may not be compatible with aquariums or cages with solid glass or plastic walls without modification.
