Is the bottle leaking water? Is the substrate or whatever is immediately below the bottle damp? You could try a new bottle to see if it makes a difference.
If not then i would get some keto sticks from Amazon and test the hamster's urine for glucose.

Hi Ria,
thanks for the quick response. That's what I was I was worried about.
Of the two, the one that currently drinks more is significanlty bigger than the other one I must admit.
In the past it was the other way round. I think the one being bullied (which is now bigger) was unable to eat properly and in fact was smaller. And the one which is now smaller was bigger.
In terms of food: I feed them with this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Witte-Molen...G878PGPQ7MGand complement with 1 unit of either vegetables or fruit (carrots, spinach, sunflower, apple, salad, cheese) on a daily basis.
Also, with regards of the keto test strips I have no idea what that is but as long as I can get it without prescription I will find a way to obtain it.
