Small Animal Waterers & Bottles

My guinea pig drinks a lot of water during the day. I’d say I have 2 standard water bottles in their cage because I have Boog and Archie and recently Archie has been drinking much more. Boog worried me because he’d drink half of the bottle in a day and now Archie is sort of doing that. Can that be a problem?

My gerbil wont stop drinking water and hes been at the wster bottle for about half an hour

I got my Roborvoski hamster a day ago and I can't get him to drink from his bottle. I don't think it is too high or low, and I marked a line with a washable marker and it hasn't gone done. I also put a little peanut butter on the spout to encourage him but that didn't work either. My last hamster died after four days so I am really worried about him. His name is Mikey. Please help me!

I found him on a vacant lot and had to bottle feed him for about two weeks. He's now about 8 weeks old and already eating solids, but he hasn't learned to drink from a bowl. I tried using bowls of different sizes, put water on the ground, wet his lips, placed him next to a faucet, etc, but he still won't drink. By night, he's so thirsty that he'll suck at my fingers, I'll end up giving him the bottle. He has no issues eating food mixed with water, but how can I get him to drink from a bowl?

My cat suddenly cannot seem to lap water from his bowl that he's had for his whole life. He eats his wet food just fine and loves licking the sauce up first. I've tried bigger, smaller, deeper, tilted, gravity bottles (for rabbits etc) with no luck. He just scratches the floor by his dish and meows. I've resorted to using a syringe to get water into him, but this is not a solution either of us like. Our vet looked at his mouth and finds nothing wrong. What can we do???

Hi, my rat has been given anti biotics to dilute into her drinking water daily, but she isn't drinking from her bottle, she normally drinks regularly. Help would

I'm sorry the site wouldn't let me submit my puppy information. I have an 2 month puppy mixed breed havanese & Chihuahua. I usually leave a bowl of cool water out but he refuses to drink it, so i went and got a training water bottle and he still refusing to drink it.

Hi. Two year old Syrian hamster is drinking his pee, despite having access to water. I keep giving him new water and he keeps peeing inside it. We give him water in bottle caps because he used his water bottle to escape from his cage in the past.

My guinea pig is dehydrated (faulty water bottle not allowing water to get out and crazy hectic weekend not allowing me to realize water level hadn’t gone down or noticing poor baby’s symptoms). She’s lethargic, not eating, & sunken eyes. She’s nibbled a little on spinach but not truly eating. She’s drinking on her own though. Do I need to syringe feed her pedialyte or is drinking water enough to re-hydrate her?

Pickle juice. Can rabbits and rats drink it? If so, what's the benefit(s)

Hi! I just adopted a 5 month old kitten with CH. I've had him for two days, and have not been able to get him to drink water from a bowl. I've tried several types of bowls with no luck. I've been adding extra water to his wet food in the meantime, which he eats just fine, but I don't think that's an ideal solution long-term. He has a vet appointment next week, but any help in the meantime would be appreciated.

Should I purchase a water fountain for my dog? She does drink on her own several times a day. But that sounds like a good idea. Does it really encourage them to drink more water? Is it easy to clean? I currently like to wash my dogs water bowl daily with warm water and soap. Would this be doable with a water fountain? thanks!
