It could just be change in seasons making it drier in my house with heaters going, but it seems my boys are drinking more water then they were. There is no heater in their room, and it's about 60-65F in here. I have 2 12oz bottles on their cage and they are going through about half a bottle, maybe a little more a day. So 6oz a day for 2, does that seem right? :hmm:
 
I think it is the drier winter air. My boys all seem to be drinking more since we turned the heat on in the house. Dale's water bottle is a 6oz and it gets refilled every other day and Rufus and Zoid have the big 26oz bottle that gets refilled every three days.
