ABSTRACT:
A water dispenser for feeding small animals comprises a support casing supplied with water, a water feed tube supported at its upstream end by the support casing and extending into a cage for the small animals to terminate at the downstream end, a poppet valve provided within the support casing to control water flow into the water feed tube, and a guard tube fixedly supported by the support casing and extending into the cage so as to encompass the water feed tube. The guard tube terminates short of the downstream end of the water feed tube. The free end part of the guard tube supports therebelow a drip trough having a bottom wall sloping downward from the inside of the cage toward the outside of the same, whereby water dripping from the downstream end of the feed tube is caught by the trough and flows to the outside.
