1. Rabbits: Rabbits generally require about 100-150 ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day. A small rabbit weighing around 2 kilograms might drink around 200-300 ml of water daily.
2. Guinea Pigs: Guinea pigs need a steady supply of fresh water and usually consume around 50-100 ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day. For a small guinea pig weighing 1 kilogram, this could mean drinking about 50-100 ml of water daily.
3. Hamsters: Hamsters often drink smaller amounts of water at a time but should have access to water consistently. On average, they may consume about 10-15 ml of water per day.
4. Gerbils: Gerbils have relatively low water requirements and can survive on the moisture content in their food to some extent. They may drink about 5-10 ml of water per day.
5. Mice: Mice typically consume around 3-5 ml of water per day. They are known for getting most of their hydration from their food sources, such as fruits and vegetables.
6. Chinchillas: Chinchillas are desert-dwelling rodents and have adapted to conserve water. They don't drink water frequently, but when they do, it's usually in small quantities. A small chinchilla might drink about 10-15 ml of water every few days.
Remember, these are approximate values, and individual animals' water intake may vary. Factors like hot weather, increased activity levels, and certain health conditions can affect water consumption in small animals. Always provide fresh, clean water to your small pet and consult a veterinarian if you have concerns about their water intake or hydration levels.
