Maybe it's an >instinct to drink moving water? Our two fuzzies, Squirt and Pippi, have a water bowl outside their cage for when they're on the loose. Squirt usually likes to grab it with a front paw and drag it around a bit before drinking from it :) We have yet to figure out why, but it's pretty funny when he ends up slopping water all over the place (including all over himself) as a result! We've also noticed that our guys like to shake their heads after lapping down some water -- maybe to shake off any drops left on their little chinny chin chins? Both Squirt and Pippi would love to play in water -- if they could just figure out how to do it without getting *wet*! -- Mike and Kim Burkard Squirt - "Gee, Dad, I only spilled a little!" Pippi - "Are you going to take a shower so I can lick you?" Michael C. Burkard | _ Dancing Dookers Xerox, Rochester, NY USA | _____C .._. Delightfully Digging!
