Yes, they can, but it is not always a good idea. The hamster might spill it, or kick bedding into it.

Yes, but water bowls are very un-sanitary and have to be cleaned everyday. A water bottle would be much easier.

yes but i prefer to use bottles. but if you still would like to use a bowl i recommend a ceramic bowl or one that is heavy so your hamster won't knock it over.

Is it better to have a bowl of water or a water bottle for a hamster?

Definitely a bottle of water. Specific hamster bottles have a little ball inside and when the hamster licks it the water comes out. This means that a hamster can have the water when he wants. A bowl of water is likely to get spilled and can also be quite dangerous for the hamster.


Do hamsters drink a lot of water?

Yes. If the water is deep enough it could drown. Hamsters don't like to get wet so I would advise anyone who has a hamster or is planning to get a hamster is not to give any type of hamster water in a dish.You should give it water in a hamster water bottle thingy.
