How much water?

[Marc4]

I'm wondering how much water should they get a day? I read somewhere they can have to much (is that true?) so I'm wondering if theres a general guideline here? I have a 2ish year old boy who I've had about a week and a half now.
I use a medicine dropper and put drops of water over his salad, he gets crickets every other day at the moment and I've tried putting drops of water on his nose and until today he did nothing but today he licked up quite a bit of water off his nose.
Ive never seen him drink from his bowl and he wont drink in a bath either.

Thank you

Leave the bowl out and he will drink all he needs out of a bi weekly bath.

You don't need a water dish in the tank as many don't recognize standing water, some may or may not drink from the bath both of mine do. They get all the moisture they need from the live food and greens/veggies that they eat.

Try a syringe with some water and drip it over their nose! Sometimes it takes a few min but they’ll start licking at it if they’re thirsty. I have to do that with mine because he won’t drink in the bath. I offer it everyday but he’ll normally drink every few days! Hope that helps!

I have done that and he drinks sometimes I was just wondering if you can give them to much water?

I give him water until he stops drinking, that’s usually half of the syringe or a bit more. I don’t offer more in the same day! I doubt they’ll drink more if they’ve already had some.

I do the same thing, I let them drink until they don't want anymore and I only give them water once a day. The only time I try to give them water is if they don't drink in their bath or they aren't eating.

My oldest girl aspirates if she tries to drink in the bath or if I drip water on her nose when she's in the bath. Luckily for me she likes to eat, and she loves soft bodied worms so she gets her water through her food.
