Okay, thank you!

I do not think she is overdrinking, if anything she was probably underdrinking with the water bottle - she seems to be drinking a LOT more with the bowls. I don't have a problem with the water getting contaminated with bedding because the bowls are on her platform where there is no bedding.

I didn't run my finger over the spout until the balls got stuck and then she went without water for 3 days.... Now I always check it. The past few times I checked it it wasn't flowing very well...

My hamster has not jumped in her water bowl - yet, at least - probably because she hates water.
