Default Re: Water bottles

I have a bowl and a bottle for my Syrian. I like the cleanliness of the bottle-tried three different sizes-but he climbs on top and pushes the bottle out of the holder so I added the small bowl. Between the two, he always has water.

The Roborovski has a bottle that used to drip, but now I turn the bottle upside down and shake it a couple times every time I change the water, and it is ok.

I always have this problem. It’s quite annoying. Went in a mini vacation this weekend, came home and under TayTays water bottle was soaked.
Someone suggested a water bowl but that brings too many dangerous variables.
I’ve yet to find one water bottle I would recommend

They both have a water bowl as well and use both.
i'm afraid my hamster would move it if i left something there, idk. and it's not something i have per say.
I should look into trixie water bottles and see what you are talking about

Exactly!! I mean if I have TayTay out of her cage to play I leave a tiny bowl of water out and she does get how to drink from it but water dishes can become so contaminated so quickly!
