Water Obsession.
Hi Everyone,
I hope you can help. This question could fit into many catagories, so please bear with me. My syrian, Nora, has had an obsession with her water bottle for a few weeks now. I have changed the bottle itself a few times as she chewed a couple of them to pieces. I've also tried entertaining her more, for fear it was boredom. She seems happy enough and it may well just be a bad habbit.
However, I'm a bit concerned about it this week as she is constantly at it and is urinating a lot more in the last few days. I'm worried this may be a sign of something entirely different. Generally, it is normal for me to clean the corner where she urinates out every other day or sometimes more, this week this has been a daily issue.
Do you think this is a problem I should be concened about? Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, if this is something that a visit to the vet is suggested, does anyone have any suggestions for vets in Leeds, UK? I have fallen out with my own due to poor treatment of my gerbils and am still in search of a new vet, ideally a rodent specialist as I also have 5 gerbils.
Lots of questions!
Thanks in advance.
