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.

Little bits of water? A lick from my bottles gives the rats a mouthful of water... sure its a drop to us, but they are small... Also my 32 ounce bottles provide enough water for 2 days for the cages that still use bottles... doubt 1 rat with a hot tongue would drink it all up

Live with the burning sensations in their mouth? Do rats salivate? Have you done studies on this? Do you know if this permanently damages rats? In humans it is pain for a brief time, and pain can teach lessons, and non damaging pain is a good tool.....

You make many claims, and back none of them up, please produce the studies and documentation, otherwise you are just spouting off opinions and insulting members of this forum who care a lot about rats.

1) Rats only chew on water bottles when they are thirsty/out of water or have nothing else to chew on
2) Hot sauce is cruel and unusual punishment to rats
3) Hot sauce makes rats gassy and is a health hazard


Thanks
