How much does a hamster need to drink per day?

most hamsters drink naturally when they are ready if they have been bought up using a simple bottle in there cage but if they don't know how to use the bottle you could buy another type of water bottle or bowl i suggest the new one from pets at home its a small bowl that you put water in and then put the grid on top that lets a small amount of water out so that they can drink a water easier and also won't drown in it. another way is to put small amount water in your hand from the bottle showing the hamster how to do it and then let is drink out your hand


I just got Crittertrail primary and my dwarf hamster wont drink out of the water bottle?

You probably don't see them drink when your not there. Plus, they need to drink or they will not survive. Don't worry too much because it happened to me. Your hamster isn't used to the cage and its surroundings. Just give it a few weeks for your hamsters to feel comfortable and used to it. I was worried at first, until i saw it drink!! :)

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.
