Not sure if this is in the appropriate section, but here goes.
I currently have a superpet glass bottle in Chloe's cage and every time I clean it, which is every day, it takes longer and longer for the vacuum to form. So it leaks for a minute or so when I put it in and I'm left having to sit with the cage door open, napkin in hand holding it under the bottle to catch the leaking water so it won't make the bedding wet.
I have another plastic ball/vacuum bottle but I like the glass one. I also have an Edstrom bottle that I love (but is plastic). I know the valve and nozzle are brass. I think brass is copper and zinc. Could Chloe suffer from the zinc (and maybe copper) toxicity of this?
