Wal-mart. Good price on pine bedding too.

Wal Mart is a good idea. But if you have the room buy the water bottles from where ever and hook the water nipple to a two liter bottle. I use it and it works great.

Try the Bean Farm. They have very good glass bottles and stoppers that will last for years. Much better than the ones at walmart and about the same price.

The best option would be automatic water. Believe it or not, it's about the same price a a bunch of water bottles.

I have the same problem with the ones from Wal-Mart (leaking).I was getting my bottles at a local Rural King store, the Hav-a-heart brand with the rubber stoppers and they worked great, but now they have changed to a different cap with an o-ring and they leak just about everytime. I would love to find some of the old rubber stopper type.

I use lab cages in my rack with (Petsmart) Critter Canteen 8 oz water bottles ($2.49 each). The glass bottles with rubber stopper and steel ball tubes just leak after wood chips get in or mice chew on stoppers. Ice cold water is provided every other day. I don't know how your set up is but try one of these water bottles.
