Default Re: Odd Water bottle behavior

Sometimes they do end up doing these with bottles, even if it's working properly and everything. I suspect there's a range of reasons why they do it, I'd guess frustration that only a bit of water is being let out at a time is one of them. I also noticed one of my hamsters do that before realising the bottle being used sometimes didn't work properly. Other hamsters start doing it seemingly out of boredom. So it might be worth switching to a bowl if it continues, just a small ceramic bowl under 8cm in diameter. If it's on a shelf there shouldn't be any issues with tipping it over/things ending up in the water etc.
