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.

I used bowls when I had gerbils. Not all the time, but sometimes. I never had one get sick from it. Sometimes, they prefer a bowl.

My ex-husband and I had a regular little zoo, too. We had hamsters, mice, gerbils, bunnies, cats, a dog, fish and a lovebird. We even had a guinea pig I was deathly allergic to. We worked closely with the owners of a petshop in Houston, and they never told us to not use a bowl.
