Nudge her mouth with it so that she sees that it's wet, and if you'll lucky, she'll want to investigage and she'll began to lick at it, and like it. Do that a few times, then hang the bottle on the side of her cage with the bowl, and take the bowl out for a few hours at a time, and like, leave it in at night. Each time you take it out, leave it out a little longer, and watch to see if she's taking to the bottle. [ killerface's advice column | Ask killerface A Question ]
