Hamster Central - View Single Post - Which is Better: Water Bottles or Water Bowls?

I try to provide both. The bottle is always there in case I get busy one night, but the bowl is a lot more natural to drink out of and a lot more quiet. I would strongly suggest offering the bowl in gradually to a hamster who has never used a bowl to be safe. Some know what a bowl is and how to use it right off the bat (such as my current robo) but some don’t understand them (such as the guinea pig I pet sat a week or so ago).
