How much water does a Hammy need?, The one I got yesterday does not seem to
be drinking it although it is eating and using it's tred-mill thiny-ma-bob.
Please help :-)
Thanx

Hamsters don't drink much water all in all, but so long as you supply a
fresh bottle of water daily they are happy. They may have a drink just 2-3
times a day - but like humans they will take all they need.
Don't worry unless your hamster shows signs of dehydration. Such signs
include lethargy, not being particularly active etc.
To be on the safe side - make sure that the water is dripping from the
bottle ok - every so often the ball-bearing in side water bottles can get
lodged preventing the water from dripping through.
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Shel

We kept a close watch on one of our dwarf hams for a couple of weeks,
checking his water intake every day. He drank about 5 ml (milliliters) a day
(one mark on his water bottle), and less on days when he got something juicy
like a bit of fresh cucumber. If your water bottle doesn't have marks on the
side, it can be very hard to see a difference of just 5 ml.
Of course a Syrian hamster is larger and will drink more.

Are there differences in things like food intake and wheel time, too?
Ted
I figure their bodies are pretty busy with all that heat stuff. It may also
have been an average that included pregnant and lactating males, though I don't
know. The figures are from a laboratory manual.

Thanks again
