Abstract
A bottle for dispensing water or other liquids to caged animals may be formed of economical, easily fabricated materials such as plastic without being susceptible to damage from gnawing when placed inside the cage. The bottle is suspended from an overhead support and simply swings away in the manner of a pendulum in response to impacts from teeth or claws. The bottle has a continuous, smooth, rounded outer surface which keeps the animal from gripping the bottle in a manner that would enable gnawing.
