Here's why:
* Drinking: Hamsters drink water regularly, especially after eating dry food or exercising.
* Cooling: Water helps regulate their body temperature.
* Digestion: Water aids in digestion and prevents dehydration.
How to provide water:
* Water bottle: This is the most common way to provide water for hamsters. Make sure the bottle is clean and the spout is working properly.
* Small bowl: This can be an option but needs to be changed more frequently to prevent contamination.
Important:
* Change water daily: Fresh water is crucial for their health.
* Monitor water intake: If your hamster isn't drinking much, consult a veterinarian as it could be a sign of illness.
Never leave a hamster without access to fresh water!
