Question

Why doesnt my hamster drink any water like for the past 5 days?

Answer 1

If you're sure your hamster hasn't been drinking:

Check his bottle and make sure it is working.  If it is, take him to the vet right away.  My guinea pig went through this and I had no idea what was wrong and didn't take her to the vet.  She died not too long after, and I now I've researched what could have caused it. Hamsters and guinea pigs have teeth that constantly grow and I think my guinea pig's teeth may have grown too long for her to open her mouth and drink or eat.  This might be the case for your hamster or it might not.  So take him to the vet!

Answer 2

maybe he isn't thirsty or you can tell your vet

Answer 3

He probably does, you just arent watching him 24/7.  If you are you're a loser with no life and you should call the vet.

Answer 4

well do you feed him fresh veggies? if you do your hamster gets water from that, and maybe thats why he isnt drinking. or maybe your water bottle isnt working? you might want to check that, especially if you have a dwarf hamster he may not be strong enough to get water out. also maybe he doesnt like water bottle? maybe try a bowl instead?

hope i helped and good luck!!
