Hi,

I got my 2 month old Syrian hamster on Sunday. I noticed today that none of her water had gone down, not even a fraction.

Tonight, after she had been in her playpen I held the water bottle infont of her and when she sniffed I squeezed the bottle so the water came out. At this point she had a long drink. I had to keep squeezing the bottle to keep the water coming out because she couldn't figure it out. I know hamsters don't drink much but is this normal? Will she learn how to use the water bottle?
