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?  :)
