Waterer for small rodents Trixie TRIXIE 6040 — plastic housing, single-piece dispenser

Trixie TRIXIE 6040 is a lightweight plastic waterer designed for small rodents. The single-piece dispenser offers a hygienic drinking solution that mounts easily inside cages and enclosures. Intended for everyday hydration of hamsters, mice, gerbils and similar small pets, this waterer combines a compact form with simple maintenance to support routine care at home or in shelters.

Advantages

The plastic housing is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, while the single-piece design minimises seams where dirt can collect. A wire holder secures the waterer to cage bars for stable placement, and the built-in ball valve ensures controlled water flow to reduce leaks and waste. The unit is available in various colours to suit different enclosures and preferences.

Suitable for

• Hamsters
• Mice
• Gerbils
• Other small rodent species kept in cages or small enclosures

Key specifications

• Material: plastic housing
• Mounting: wire holder for attachment to cage bars
• Valve type: ball valve for drip-free delivery
• Design: single-piece dispenser for easy cleaning

How to use

Fill the waterer with fresh drinking water and secure it to the cage bars using the supplied wire holder so the spout is accessible to the animal. Position the dispenser at a comfortable height relative to the animal’s size to allow natural drinking. Check the ball valve for proper function after filling and inspect the unit daily to ensure the flow is unobstructed and water is clean. Refill and clean regularly to maintain hygiene.

Usage recommendations

For routine maintenance, rinse the waterer and valve with warm water at least once every few days and perform a full cleaning with mild detergent as needed. If administering supplements or vitamins, consider using the compatible variant designed for that purpose to avoid residue buildup in the valve.
