The amount of water a hamster drinks in a day is not fixed. Generally, a hamster will drink 10-20ml of water a day, but it may be more or less than that due to factors such as the amount of exercise the hamster does, how hot the weather is, the health of the hamster, etc. than normal water intake. Therefore, owners should try to fill the drinking fountain when feeding water to prevent hamsters from getting sick if they eat too little.

Precautions for hamsters to drink water

1. Do not give mineral water or tap water to hamsters. Hamsters cannot absorb the minerals in mineral water, and there are bacteria in tap water. Irritating the hamster's gastrointestinal tract can cause hamster diarrhea.

2. Clean the hamster's drinking fountain regularly. Most breeders will forget to clean the hamster's drinking fountain or simply clean it. Over time, bacteria will breed and affect the health of the hamster.

3. Regularly check whether the water discharge from the hamster's drinking fountain is normal. If the water discharge is abnormal, the drinking fountain should be replaced in time. It is best to use a steel ball drinking fountain to prevent the hamster from drinking water and getting wet.

4. Do not feed hamsters drinks. If you feed honey water, you need to clean the kettle in time after drinking before using it.
