Question
What kind of water do hamsters drink from? the sink? the water bottle? do you have to buy special stuff to put in the water? please let me know everything you know about hamster's water. thank you you have been a huge help!

Answer
Water that you would drink is fine.  If your water supply tastes bad or you normally drink bottled water in your area, then give it bottled water.  Yes, a water bottle is needed, the kind that has a ball valve in it to keep it from leaking.  Nothing special has to be added, as you will be feeding it hamster food that is a balanced and complete diet for it.  

Good luck!
