Is it normal for a hamster to drink nearly two bottles of water a day?

Answers:
Is your hamster a dwarf? If it is, than it may have diabetes. Go see a vet. If you have a Syrian, then you should get another water bottle that doesn't leak. This is what happened to my hamster. I got a new water bottle for my hamster when it leaked. Don't take the old bottle out, or your hamster will escape. Good luck!

No, it is not normal, but are you sure the bottles are not leaking out? No little creature could drink that much fluid without consequences. Check with a small animal vet if you see that the bottles are not leaking.

No, that is not normal. Check your hamsters water bottle and make sure there is no leakes. If there isn't, contact the veterinarian and have a brief chat about what could be wrong.

If humans can drink lots of water a day. I THINK it could be ok.
But on the other hand it does sound a bit unusual my guinea pig(that runs around all day)Only drink well nearly 1 bottle a day so if u think its a real concern take it to a vet.

i dont think so but if u hav like 2 hamsters then yes its possible. my rat drinks 3 quarters of a bottle.

I don't think that is very normal! Does the your hamster's water bottle have any leakes in it? If not, then take him to the vet. I don't think a little hamster's stomach could hold all that water!! Take him to the vet if no leakes. Wish you luck with your hamster!

I don't think so

no see a vet

That would be highly impossible. Are you sure it not leaking? Maybe you should get a new water bottle. You need the water bottle to leak a little bit, so the hamster can get enough water. And are you sure they aren't to hot? Animals get hot easily. Make sure the room isn't to hot, yet to cold.
