Wat can i do to stopmy rats from soiling their water so quickly???

mitchellaube Jun 22, 2003 09:05 PM

I have a male and female rat set-up in a 33 gallon long tank, with pine shavings and a water bowl in the centre. Everyday I seem to have to change the waterbowl twice, because they soil their water so quickly wat can i do to stop this? Does drinking dirty water affect them in any way? How long can they drink the same water for before u have to change it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

yes, dirty water will harm them. Yes, they will continue to fill a bowl with filth. Just go to a hanging bottle with a guard...save a lot of misery.
