Before you start making a drinking bowl for your pet. First you need to determine what kind of cream you will do. There are drinkers that need to be attached to the wall of the cell, and there are those that are put on the floor. They differ from each other with the design and principle of action, so to speak. Most often in the store you can see nipple drinkers, but if you decide to make itching with your own hands, then you have a choice between drinking with straw and nipple.
Consider all the necessary materials for the manufacture of the product under consideration:
- Solominka, which is usually used to use cocktails. Juices and other drinks

types of drinkers
First, find out exactly how arranged drinker and only after that will decide what kind of water bottle will do and how it will be this process.
If it is wall-mounted, while its major parts are the tube and container. You can also make your own hands trough, which regularly and will gradually drip water to the hamster was convenient to drink. Usually this kind of drinking bowls made of drippers and tubes for cocktails. Floor drinkers can also make your hands and it is not a problem. Let's take a detailed look at and order each of the above species and learn how they work and how to make them their own hands.
To create a nipple feeders can also be used instead of the tube from a cocktail is also the case from the automatic pen, just to get it will be necessary to build the pin:
- In this case, the manufacturer will need to pick up the iron ball the size of the wide end of the handle.
- The next stage - note on the handle place a marker where we stuck the ball, and the need to cut the corps cone, but only slightly.
- Now charged in the body is not very strong spring and gently press down e wedge made of wood.
- It should immediately be noted that the size of the wedge dozhzhen be such that it has passed the water through itself, or hamster remain without water though the troughs will hang in the cell.
- Next - to be inserted into the handle of our bottle cap. From a small, shallow containers hamster will be very convenient to drink. There is another option to make a water bottle - the side of the plastic container to stick a pen and secure the connection with glue.
Drinking bowl from the bottle
In fact, to make the water bottle from the rolls (plastic), no problem. Cope with such a task everyone can, even a novice, as long as you can hold in their hands the scissors and glue. Typically, these drinkers are made large enough for the hamsters, which need a lot of water for a comfortable existence. Thus, the manufacturing process is considered drinkers is as follows:
- You will need a half liter bottle (you can also 330 mL), made of plastic. More often than not take a bottle from under the water.
- Screwing the lid, and then in the center will need to make a hole. This can be done will be a drill, and if that is not there at your fingertips. Then you can use a regular nail for these purposes. Some heat the end of the nail over the stove, and then once they pierce the plastic (the piercing process is faster).
- The main rule in this process, making a hole smaller than the tube itself, which would be like through this cover. Otherwise, the water will just flow that will make our feeder is not practical and is not sealed.
- If you still have made a hole, and it was larger than the size of the tube, just take a moment glue and seal the empty space, through which water can flow.
- Insert the tube must be such that the portion with corrugations are on the bottom of the cover. This is necessary in order to be able to rotate the lower edge of any of the parties.
- Now it will be necessary to fill the liquid bottle and hang it over the floor covering. The height of the suspension on a straight line will depend on the size of the hamster for which you produced such trough.
In that case, if it dzhungarik, drinkers should be hanged at a height of 5-6 cm from the floor. Thus, it is very easy to drink, if necessary.
Independent production drinkers process is very simple, so it will cope with the task under force even to the child. You want to have your hamster was a good drinker, then do it yourself.
