Keeping your mice well-nourished and hydrated will be easier if you have the right mouse feeders and waterers in their cage. Chewy carries a great selection of mouse water bottle and mouse food bowl styles to choose from, plus automatic mouse feeders, gravity-fed waterers and more.
Most experts recommend using cage-mounted water bottles for mice because they're tip-resistant and keep the water cleaner. The best water bottles for mice will be made of chew-resistant material, have a chew-proof, no-drip spout and mount securely to the cage or in a free-standing holder. You can use a tip-resistant mouse water bowl if you prefer (or if you have older or ailing mice who can't use a bottle), but you'll need to clean and refill it daily to keep it from becoming contaminated.
Good mouse bowls will be made of chew-proof material and be cage-mounted or tip-resistant, as well, since busy mice will chew, knock and tip their bowls over with surprising frequency. You'll need to find a bowl that's small enough for your mice to eat out of without straining, or one with a low front for easy access. Gravity-fed feeders dispense food as needed to save you time and trouble, plus they save space by storing food vertically instead of horizontally.
Set up a separate feeding and watering station for each mouse in your mouse habitat to avoid territorial fighting and misbehavior. Make sure your feeders are always well-stocked with healthy mouse food and consider creating an area for feeding mouse treats to keep things orderly and tidy, as well. Refill all your water bottles daily and check for leaks or malfunctions frequently to avoid soaked bedding or thirsty mice. Chewy has all the mouse supplies you need to set up comfortable food and water stations in your mouse cage.

Mice don't need water bottles, but they are recommended because they keep the water cleaner and won't tip as easily as bowls. Older, ailing or finicky mice may prefer to drink out of bowls, but if you go this route, change the water frequently because it will get dirty quickly and use a tip-proof bowl. Choose a chew-proof water bottle with a metal no-drip spout, if possible, and look for a cage-mounted design to save space in the cage. Mount the bottle low enough that your mice can drink from it without stretching too much, but high enough that they don't have to bend down.
Mice need 4-7ml of water per day, but will require more in a hotter environment or if they are larger breeds. Mice get most of their hydration from their diet, but still need to have water on hand at all times. Change their water daily or every other day, even if they aren't drinking that much, to ensure the water's always fresh and the bottle hasn't malfunctioned or leaked.
Mice do eat from food bowls and feeding them that way can help keep the cage tidy, but they forage for their food in the wild. You can try scattering food pellets and fruit and veggie snacks around the cage for them to hunt and find to make eating a fun game for them. This can also help if you have a mouse who hogs the food bowl all the time. Experiment with scattering some food around the cage for a treasure hunt, or try hiding treats and food morsels in tubes or treat toys to keep your mice stimulated and entertained.
