I woke up this morning to find the bottom level of my FN completely soaking. Almost all of the newspaper on the floor was wet, and the water bottle was empty.
After checking that my baby was okay I inspected the water bottle, and it looks fine. The lid hasn't come undone so I am just so confused.
What could have happened???
 
Maybe the ball got stuck and it was leaking all night, or it could of got a split somewhere. I would get a new bottle just to be safe. I changed to a glass bottle because the plastic ones kept going horrible.
 
it's a glass bottle, a popular one that has the little duck in it haha..
i've come to the conclusion maybe he was jumping on it and trying to use it as a ledge in the night, thus made it leak everywhere... so i've moved it to the outside, hope that works :(
 
Is your cage sturdy? I've noticed with those bottles that if they can rock the cage at all (while surfing or just playing) that it will slowly leak the water out over the course of the night.
 
Ive got a glass bottle too, its sometimes leaky and i was told to tap the top a couple of times when its filled. It sort of works but i only fill the bottle half way too
