Lixit Quick Lock Crock
The Lixit Quick Lock Crock is the go-to choice when a fixed, cage-mounted feeding or water solution is needed; its quick-lock bracket eliminates tipping and saves cage floor space, delivering a technical benefit other free-standing bowls can’t match. Financially it can command a modest premium for the locking hardware, but that investment pays off for owners who want secure attachment and reduced maintenance compared with loose dishes.
