Default Barely drinks water

Yes, my male hamster rob, Mocha barely drinks as u saw at the title. I do regularly change his water but I rarely see him drinking. Ive checked if the bottle was working multiple times and yes, it does work. Advice please? THANKS

He's probably drinking mostly at night, they drink very little & as long as the bottle is within easy reach & works ok he should be fine.

Hamsters don't generally drink very much. It would take all of mine more than a week to get through a 150ml bottle.

I do find that my dwarf hamster drinks way more from a bowl. Have you tried giving water in a bowl instead? You have to place it on a surface away from substrate to keep it clean but it's a lot more natural for the hamster

I agree with the others. I also give my hammy steamed vegetables everyday and I know that gives him fluid. Do you give yours veggies?
