You may need to mix the antibiotic in a syringe of water and give it to her that way. If the antibiotic is a liquid you may also be able to mix it with peanut butter and feed it to her. You will need to ask your veterinarian about the exact dosage because it will be very different from the amount you’re putting in her water bottle. The veterinarian will be able to advise you so call them today. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Congratulations on your new pet! Hamsters are typically dessert-swelling or burrowing animals, so they typically do not drink much water. It may take Mikey some time to get used to his water bottle. It may be helpful to tilt it in such a way that it drips a very small amount of water to get his attention. If you are concerned about Mikey getting dehydrated, you can offer high moisture treats such as cucumber or grapes. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you have!

Oxbow, Mazuri and Kaytee all make excellent rat chow. Being omnivorous, they can eat almost anything. They should eat mainly a pelleted or block diet supplemented with fresh fruits, greens and vegetables.

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Atlas is adorable! That is definitely a very large amount of water for a mouse to drink! Diabetes can definitely be the cause and is heritable in certain breeds of mice. Atlas may also have kidney disease or a bladder infection, causing him to drink and urinate more frequently. A veterinarian who specializes in pocket pets or exotics can perform an exam, bloodwork if necessary, and prescribe necessary medications for Atlas. I hope this helps and that all is well!
