Water for Your Pet MouseHi! My name is Sarah, I’m at Petland in Pembroke Pines, Florida tonight and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I’m going to speak with you a little bit about caring for mice. As far as providing water for your mouse goes, you should provide a sipper bottle attached to the cage. Mice tend to not do well with water bowls like some of the larger small mammal pets do. Therefore, that is why the sipper bottle is recommended. You should clean the sipper bottle and refill it everyday. You want to make sure it stays clean. You want to make sure that you check the tip everyday to make sure that the water comes out easily, because sometimes these can become stuck or clogged. They will prevent your mouse from getting water, and obviously, that would be a life-threatening situation. You can choose to purchase 2 or 3 bottles and run them through the dishwasher or you can just get one bottle and wash it thoroughly with hot soapy water everyday.

I agree with everything on this page, but I do want to add that the reason mice do not do well with water bowls is because they have a bad habbit of scooting thier bedding around, it's not digging, they just push it around looking for food or putting together a nest. They are also prone to illness and if they fall into the dish, they can catch pneumonia. They also have a bad habit of stiing on the edge of the dish and using it as a toilet, they knock it over when they jump around also. Mice and water bowls are a very poor match!!
