How to Use a Ferret Water Bottle

A ferret water bottle is one of the easiest ferret accessories to set up, and it is a necessary component of a ferret's cage. Most pre-packaged ferret homes come with a water bottle, but if the ferret kit excludes the bottle, you can purchase a large bottle for less than $10.

Instructions

    • 1

      Fill the clear ferret water bottle with cold water. Make sure to fill it to the top.

    • 2

      Tighten the lid of the water bottle. Make sure the lid is secure, and the bottle doesn't leak.

    • 3

      Place the water bottle on one of the wire bars of the ferret cage. Make sure the spout of the water bottle points inside the cage. Adjust the level of the water bottle to the appropriate height of the ferret's mouth. Make sure the spout is not too high or too low for the ferret to use.

      Lean the water bottle against the cage, and fasten the wire attachment to one side of the water bottle; the hook should connect to one of the bars of the ferret cage. Wrap the back of the wire around the water bottle, so that it supports the top of the bottle. Connect the second hook to the opposite side of the water bottle at the same level bar as on the other side.

      Level up the ferret water bottle by easily sliding the bottle to the right or left side. Make sure the ferret bottle has a slight drip coming from the spout.
