that also cruel about the hot sauce, you want hot sauce on your tongue when you can only get little bits of water at a time. Thats a good way to run out of water. And they might not even think to drink the water and have to live with that burning sensation in there mouths....really shows you care. If you seriously consider that you do not deserve the rats you have (i.e. the dumbo or siamese) Please do NOT do this I am not trying to be pissy but seriously do not harm them to stop them from chewing the bottle. And hot sauce makes them gassy and rats are unable to pass gas...it is a major health hazard.
