We have 2 ferrets. Slappy is 6 months old, and Mr. Bill is 8 weeks. They will not use a water bottle. I have tried buying several different kinds. Therefor, I keep a bird dish that attaches to the cage under the water bottle, that I regularly refill it myself from the water bottle. Even if the dish is empty, or if I take it out, they will not use the bottle. HELP!! I hate to think of them without water, especially when I am away from home for the day :(!!!!!!!!!!!!
