Default Re: My sweetie

Isn't she a lovely little hammy! I have two bottles in both my hammy's cages. This way if one has a problem they have the other one. I check them every other day, sometimes every day. It takes 2 seconds to tap on the spout when I am checking on them or taking them out. I learned the hard way. I lost a gerbil because I didn't realize the bottle wasn't working. I also only use the 4 oz. bottles so I can't get lazy about changing their water. Those long bottle encourage people to fill them up and leave it until the water is low or nearly gone. They should really have fresh water, changed every other day at the very least. I'm glad you caught it. Don't beat yourself up.
