Water drinking?

[edgar]

Hi

I was wondering, how much water does a dwarf hamster drink during one day?

I find my water bottle missing about 10ml everyday, but I'm not sure if he drinks it or he shed it all over the place.

Is it ok for him to drink about 10ml (or less) per day?

it sounds about right but maybe put in a little more then that. You never know if they all of a sudden want lots of water or stay cool in it.

I just fill a water bottle and every 2 days or so i put in new fresh water.

I forgot to mention that I have about 75 - 90 ml in his water bottle And i change it with clean almost everyday

Too much drinking can mean diabetes, which is treatable. Look for (by a forum Search) old threads on diabetes on this site, or others.

10 ml or less sounds reasonably normal to me, per day.
