I need some ideas to help solve my water bottle problems. I keep having the bedding get up too high by the water bottle and so it leaks the water out. It's like this in both the 10 gallon glass tanks and the big tubs for grow outs. I am using a mixture of Equine Fresh and aspen. I do not put very much in, just enough to cover the bottom. But they seem to either push it all over to the bottle or use that area as the bathroom area. I've even tried moving the water bottle on the 10 gallon tanks to the other side and they do the same thing.

I like the Equine fresh as it soaks up the wetness, but I'm thinking maybe that's the problem. It soaks it up then expands.

Also I'm afraid to make the bottle any higher as then the babies wouldn't be able to drink from it. How high off the ground should the sipper be? And if your "ground" keeps getting higher what do you do? lol

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks so much!
