My babies Rock!
I've come across a rabbit supply store (online) that has a few Edstrom "Water Buddy" 8 oz valve water bottles left. These are the only water bottles I've ever seen that don't leak. But, they're PVC plastic, so they can't go through the dish washer, and occasionally a really determined chin can chew into one if it doesn't have a guard. I recommend them every time somebody brings up water bottles; my chins just LOVE theirs, and two of them had never seen a valve bottle until they day I brought them home. They picked up how to use it in a matter of hours.
She also has Nivek valve bottles reasonably priced, sizes: 5.5 oz & 12.5 oz. These are made of the same kind of plastic as the Water Buddy, so they aren't dishwasher safe either, and could be chewed. I haven't personally used one of these (yet), but since it's a very similar mechanism, I wouldn't anticipate leaks.
The supplier only charges actual shipping rates, and she seemed pretty willing to work with me on shipping carriers, etc. She says she has 10 Water Buddies priced @ $9.75 each (hanging springs sold separately), but I was thinking that if I could get together with a couple other people who wanted them, we might get a better price, or could at least save on shipping. The Nivek bottles start at $4.50 for the 5.5 oz and $5.00 for the 12 oz. Springs come in 4" and 6" sizes, and are about a $1.00 each (lower prices available for quantities). Compared to the prices and shipping at bunnyrabbit.com, though, it's gonna be a better choice, especially if you only need one or two bottles and a hanger spring like I do.
If anybody's interested in a group order, please PM me with your name, mailing address, and what you'd like.

Once I place the primary order, I'll PM you with an individual total and my Paypal address.
