If you cannot afford a water bottle that costs 99 cents-$5 then you shouldn't have ANY pet....sorry but I don't know a way for you to fix it.

That's what I was thinking. They aren't expensive for a cheap little one. I know the huge ones are only like $10 here so they are cheaper in England.

I know but the cheapest here is $10.00

Umm go to wal mart, k mart, target, the dollar store, any grocery store, or any petstore and you will be able to find one for under 3 dollars.

That's not likley to happen and if it did they can get out, they aren't stupid and just gonna sit there and freeze. They can knock it over but it gets soaked up in the shavings or whatever he uses. If it's for a emergency and he needs to get it water i don't thinka bowl would be a problem.

That's still not alot. If you can't afford that you can't afford your pet. A water bottle is a nessecity (sp?) if you can't provide that how can you provide all the other stuff he NEEDS.
