well you cant really get your hamster to drink ,when its thirsy it will go and drink buy it self or hold up a treat and he/she will come and sniff it then hold it up next to the water bottle of the hamster and he might drink.if its new it might take some time to get use to you and might not drink or eat but he will afterwords so dont worry.

Since you should change the water in the bottle every day, you can't really tell how much is drunk just by the water left in the bottle. Another way is to listen for loud click click sounds. There is a loud clicking whenever your hamster licks/sucks at the water bottle.
