Actually this is very similar to something I've been meaning to bring up and get some input.

My sample size is pretty small, but I've observed that if I change the water in my burm cages every day and they are eating well, they tend to urinate every couple of days. My working hypothesis is that they tend to urinate in their bowls just enough that we can't tell but they stop drinking. So then they end up not drinking or drinking as little as possible until we get around to cleaning, which is usually the next time they urinate, which is less often because they're not drinking enough. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I nuts? (Don't answer that).
