If your parrot has chewed up the stopper or the rubber has gotten stiff and cracked or is old and shrunk enough to allow leaking but the nozzle is still good, you can just pull out the nozzle and use a new stopper to bring new life to your LIXIT water bottle system. These safe rubber stoppers can be used on both 16 oz and 32 oz bottles. (Fits Large or Tuff Tip Nozzles)Note: These stoppers are meant to be used as replacement parts for existing Lixit frames and bottles. If they are used without the frame to hold them on the cage correctly, there is no guarantee they will not leak.
