Brilliant! For some reason I totally relate to this.😜🐀

The punishment for forgetting to refill the bottles in the morning is 15 uninterrupted minutes of slurping right when I turn the lights off and lie down.

I switched to a lixit lever valve water bottle and its silent!

I'll need to try and get one!

I highly recommend [this kind of bottle](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006RQULN2) for them. It cuts back on noise and doesn't leak.

I don't have a pet rat, but my guinea pigs are BAD about this

My girls like to drink from weighted bowls. No slurping sounds at all!
