The time for hamsters to drink water is not fixed. The owner only needs to ensure that the hamster has water to drink at any time and that the drinking water is clean. In addition, when the temperature is low in winter, it is best for the owner to provide warm water to the hamster to avoid discomfort after the hamster drinks cold water.
In winter, it is recommended that owners change the hamster's water every 2 to 3 days to prevent bacteria from growing in the hamster's drinking water. In addition, the owner cannot allow the hamster to drink raw water. Instead, the owner should prepare cold boiled or mineral water for the hamster. Otherwise, the hamster drinking raw water will easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
