I have 3 males and 2 females (separate cages, don't get excited). I will most likely never get males again! Mind you, I do love them, but they stink terrible! The smell is getting better since I've moved their cage upstairs and they can't see the girls though.
I was having issues with all of our water bottles too, so I purchased so Lixit water bottles and they do not leak. I love them! We got the kind with the flip-top so they are super easy to fill. Of course, their kitchen area is still soaked all the time, that is about the only place they pee! But...
Omgosh! I'm in Iowa too! I would take him if I hadn't just taken in my friends male that was supposed to be a female!! I've got three boars already and two girls :)
My two girls are Nibbles and Georgina- no theme
Boys are Cocoa Bean and Cotton Ball- two 'c' names. Our new boy's name is Snuggles, previous family gave him that name and it fits so we will keep it :)
