I am not trying to extend this topic, but as a relatively inexperienced gerbil lover, I have questions about water.  Previously, I have to admit I was pretty sloppy about the water bottle in my girls' cage (which is a SAM canteen that has never given me a moment's grief, despite other's experience with the product).  I changed it only about once a week even though I knew it should be once a day.  Even in a week, the water level always was down only a very little.  I think it would take them a couple of months to drink it dry.  How much water should they be getting?  Do I need to worry?  (and pleas don't think that I don't care for and check the girls just because I am somewhat careless about the water bottle!  I actually check its tip daily to make sure water will come out).
