Hamsters

There are multiple Hamster species which make popular pets and while they each have specific needs and qualities, their basic needs are quite similar.

Water
As with most pet species, Hamsters require a constant supply of fresh water, though they do not consume much liquid. It is best to empty and refill their water bottles (or bowls) at least every two days. There are multiple kinds of rodent water bottle and opinions differ when deciding which is the best for hamsters. If your pet appears to be struggling with the kind you have, try them on a different type.
