I have 4 of Cactus Top-Fill Hummingbird feeders and they are hit and miss when it comes to leaking out all the liquid. I would take it apart and put it back together. Somethimes that works, sometimes not. Any suggestions?

Question by: Mark on Oct 23, 2024, 5:10 PM

The lid should not fit too tightly; if it creates a vacuum, the nectar is more likely to leak.

I believe the leak in my cactus hummingbird feeder could be due to the seals in the lid that have melted away. Do you sell replacment seal rings?

Question by: Mark on Oct 23, 2024, 5:33 PM

Replacement seals are not available.

1) Can you tell me what type of foam is used in the gasket that’s in the base?
2) Do you sell replacement flowers for the base?

I just bought and put out this cactus hummingbird feeder and it is leaking. I can't seem to move the feeder bottom to seal shut/it's loose. How do I undo the whole thing to see if I can put it all together again and check if that's the seal problem? Also, need to know so I can clean this properly.

Thank you very much for reaching out to us. If your feeder is leaking, try taking it apart and reassembling it, making sure that everything is threaded properly and tightened securely. The entire feeder comes apart for easy cleaning. If the problem persists, please feel free to call us at 855-737-5973 for further assistance. It would be our pleasure to help you.

What solution or detergent do you suggest cleaning these with to prevent RUST? I used a touch of dawn and warm water like the directions said but still got rust. This seems to be a common issue with the perky pet metal basin feeders. I don't want to POISON the hummingbirds from the heavy metals in the rust. So until perky pet recalls these feeders or fixes this problem i would like to know what to use to wash them with since I am being shipped a new one.

Question by: Nancy on Oct 21, 2025, 10:26 PM

To prevent rust, we recommend using unscented dish soap and warm water for regular cleaning.

For a deeper clean, you may also use a solution of two parts water and one part distilled white vinegar as a substitute for the soap and water solution.

Crucially, ensure all parts of the feeder are allowed to completely dry before refilling it.

Where the jar bottom goes onto the base, the liquid is not getting into the base to fill the feeder area. No wonder the hummingbirds stopped trying. I tried filling the part right where the base screws in but the liquid just sits there. Should I fill that reservoir up with vinegar/water and let it sit or is there something else I am doing wrong here?

Question by: Leigh on Oct 24, 2025, 8:37 PM

Please check for any obstruction in the feeder base and clean it thoroughly to remove debris. Feeding ports and perches are removable for easy cleaning, and the gasket ensures a tight seal to prevent leaking.
