Between them the dwarves drink approximately 30ml of water in a day and a half i.e about 15ml each. This is after as much of the sugar in their diet has been removed as possible. Compared to my Syrian hamster who barely has 5ml/day and similar for my gerbils it seems excessive. However, a website suggested that 12 - 15 ml/day was O.K. - unless I read it wrong.
A looking into a better diet but not living in a city or near any sort of wholefood shop etc and not wanting to pay excessive postage if it can be helped is making the search difficult.
