are your hamsters currently on their mother? hamsters repreduce milk and so maybe your hamsters are just drinking her milk.

no, you don't because hamsters are just hamsters and dwarf hamsters have a bigger mouth than you think.
no because hamsters drink the water, then you just refill it
with hamsters and water bottles you can't really train them , in your case it might be that your bottle is not working all though i have heard of some special bottles that are ment to attract your hamster to the bottle good luck
Probably when it starts walking around and its eyes are open. As far as I know, most baby mammals don't start to drink water until they are almost completely weaned. Guinea pigs would have to be an exception though; their babies are precocious and drink water from a bottle a day or two after birth.
The nicest are teddy bear hamsters , but when dwarfs bite you can't feel it !LOL I know because I have a teddy bear hamster ( it only bit me once.... but it still nibbles) and my sister had a dwarf hamster when it bit me it TICKLED but dwarf hamsters don't live long ...... hope this helps .. :) you need bedding, a hamster cage , food bowl, water bottle/bowl, wheel, hamster ball ( clear ) , hamster food, water, hamster treats, hamster toys, gnaw sticks / salt licks, hamster bed fluff, hamster igloo ( only if you don't have a sleeping section in the cage)........ hope this helps..... :) hamsters like lettuce and carrots, and when they are babies rub their ears until they fall asleep in your hands . you can get the hamsters and the items at PetCo, and Pet Supplies Plus. you can get the items at Petsmart. Make sure you buy one that looks healthy and is young! I prefer getting EVERY THING at Pet Supplies Plus because you can see the hamsters ! And mostly the other pet stores have the igloos backwards so you can't see the hamsters..... I would go hamster shopping at night because they are nocturnal HOPE THIS HELPS...... :)
The hamsters water bottle must be cleaned everyday. It is okay if you do it every second or third day sometimes.
When you purchase a hamster you will need a cage, a bottle, a food bowl, a house, sawdust, bedding, food, and an exercise ball. A wheel is optional. Some hamsters like cardboard tubes to play in too.
it is okay for any hamster to drink out of a hamster bottle as long as you clean the bottle.(you should clean it everyday)
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.
To all hamster owners, always check the water bottle to make sure it works often. My hamsters died of dehydration and i dont want this to happen to anyone else.
Syrian hamsters will need bedding on the cage floor. They need a bowl to put their food in, a water bottle, and a wheel to run in. This is the bare minimum.
My hamster had a wheel, a plastic toy igloo (really anything to cover them went they sleep), a food boll, lots of bedding if they burrow when they sleep, and a water bottle thingy. Hamsters can occupie themselves pretty well but most of these things are esential.
