Any pet owner knows that the two absolute essentials for keeping their animal healthy are providing nutritious food and clean water. If you own a cute and fluffy little hamster then the most obvious option for providing clean water is a bottle that can be attached to their cage or terrarium. If for whatever reason your pet doesn’t get along with one of these bottles then there is another option, a drinking bowl. So can hamsters drink from a bowl?
Why would I use a Hamster drinking bowl?
There are a number of different reasons why you may want to provide your hammy with water via a bowl. These include:
- Your hamster doesn’t want to drink from a bottle that you’ve given them
- Your hamster makes a lot of noise when drinking from a bottle
- You can’t get a bottle that fits to your hamster’s cage
