Oops, meant this to go to the list...
I'm glad someone brought this up. I'm on water bottle number 3 and it's not releasing water satisfactorily. (I don't know why. I used to have a squirrel, a chinchilla, many many rats, and never had this problem.) The Boys have their water in a little terra cotta bowl - actually, since it's so hot here, I load the bowl with ice in the morning, at lunch time, and the end of the day..... They seem fine with that. I figure, hey, where is a gerbil gonna find a water bottle in the desert, eh? :) Tam Deb Rebel wrote: > > Kicking litter on their water?
