[SKB_Hamsters]

It does depend upon each individual hamster which they prefer. My past hamster Pumpkin preferred using a bowl but other Syrians I had that I tried a bowl with they much rather drink from a bottle instead. When introducing a bowl keep a bottle available too.
That bowl is fine to use a water bowl if you have a Syrian - that’s the size I use. I found if I used a shallower bowl Syrians will often step into the water. Although I only filled the bowl up halfway.
