Water Bottles For Your Hamster Cage

Although you can provide your hamster with water with a dish, it’s recommended that you use a water bottle as a water dish can easily get filled with bedding material. If you do decide to use a dish then make sure it’s something the hamster can’t easily chew through, such as ceramic or stainless steel.

 

There are water bottles specifically designed for hamsters, and so it’s obviously best to pick up one of these, but don’t worry if you can’t find one. Just make sure that the bottle has a screw top and a metal drinking tube, preferably with ball-bearings in the tip. Attach the bottle to the side of the cage, or perch it at the top if necessary.

 

If you notice your hamster chewing at the tube it may be because the bottle is empty or has become plugged. If the bottle has water in it and the bedding is wet that means that the bottle is functioning just fine, and that your hamster probably wants something to chew on.

I found that the water bottles that come w/ the crittertrail tops get corroded and fall off. They make a different model with a cap and a longer spout. Cheap too. about 4.50
