Hello, I'm new to this website and I joined because eveyone on here seems to know a lot that could help me.
I've had my chin Hammy for almost a year and I said I would only ever have him because he was the baby of my house and I didn't think he would like to share that spot. That being said I happend into a pet shop last week and they had one baby left. I went back everyday for a week looking at him until I decided just to get him. Gizzie is home now and in his new cage away from Hammy untill I make sure he's not sick, I've had him for two days, but I have a problem.
At the pet shop he had his water in a dish, and here at home I only let Hammy have a bottle, so that's what I have for Gizzie too, but he's not drinking out of it, I have to give him a small dish every two hours so that he will drink, but I hate doing that because when I have to work no one is going to be home, I've already missed a day at work so that I can be with him, but thats not going to work again. Any ideas on how to get him used to the bottle?
