Help!! (please read!)

If he is chewing threw the bottles get him a bowl like that ^^ he can't tip it over it's too heavy. If he gose in (which he likley won't) then he will realise there is water and get out. They aren't stupid and won't sit there in something they don't like. The chances of them getting sick from going in the bowl are very very slim. And the chances of him going back in the bowl if he fell/went in are also slim.

Well, I'm not sure if this will help, but try and tape is over???

The water would go right threw it.

We have always been told by our pet shop not to put bowls with water in with rodents- They can grab the side of the bowl and lean on it and it moves and tips all over them.

That's why you get a heavy bowl that they can't tip over. And FTR don't belive everything your pet stores tell you they usually know nothing about animals.

Even if he dosent tip it over or get ill from it, while he is playing he would kick litter into it and the water would become un-sanitary. THATS MY REASON! IM JUST NOT GOING TO GET HIM A BOWL FOR HIS WATER!

No reason to be rude.

If you seriously can't afford a waterbottle/refuse to get one you should rehome your gerbil with someone who can.

Im not refusing to buy a water bottle, I found $10 and went and bought one. Im just not going to use a bowl as a water sorce for him because it could tip and could get buried in litter and both would make it un-sanitary.

That's why you CHANGE the water when it gets like that. And it won't kill him if your using shavings...also why you buy one that dosen't tip over not that it would really matter anyways. You don't need to be getting rude or angry.
