They probably just don't understand that the ball valve is a water source.

Try putting something really tasty on the tip of the water bottle. I usually use peanut butter. When the little guys start licking off the peanut butter they will certainly wind up licking the ball as well and thus will discover that water comes that thing too (not just fingers).
