Question
todays date: 10.4.07
My hamster is 6-8 weeks old,we got her last Saturday.
she has only drank twice out of her bottle since she has been with us. Her urine is dark yellow.
how can we make her drink?

Answer
Hi Cherry,

    If she is not drinking from her water bottle, you may want to try a water dish. If that does not help, you can try giving her water by hand with an eyedropper.
    If you have anymore questions, please write again.

Thank you for writing!
