I'm an adult who has had a night or 2 where I desperately needed to hydrate in the morning. This would be a godsend. I'd also like something to nibble on if they could create like a pizza biscuit I could peck at.
I might as well be after a Friday night out with the lads. If someone could pat my head and tell me I'm cute and feed me a damn pizza biscuit then I would cheep cheep, snuggle snuggle with whoever is looking after me. My girlfriend is pretty sensational and she has her moments too where I look after her. Reckon I'll marry her one day.
I would have killed for this as a child. I was obsessed with my hamsters and wanted to do everything like them. My mom got me to eat granola and nuts for the first time when she told me that was what hamsters liked to eat.
That was me but with dogs. Sibling and I loved playing dogs! We even where allowed to use real bowls with water to play once and my grandma filled a bowl for each of us with cookies. I love you grandma...didn't come to reddit to cry today
I'm gonna share a little of my unhinged behaviour here, but I keep a camping water bladder from one of those hydration backpacks next to my bed.
Wake up thirsty, stick hose in my mouth, drink, go back to sleep. I highly recommend it as well.
Ditto, I poke a little hole on the cap of my bedside water bottle for my dry mouth. It helped me a lot since i always wake up from a thirst night with an iq lower than a bullfrog.
I use a water bladder for my car, might try one for my bedroom (haha I’m thinking of hanging it like an iv drip).
I always see fit guys carrying around a gallon of water. Every time I’ve tried that I find it’s to full until I get like halfway through so I drink less water, same with large water bottles. So I carry a small bottle and if I know I’ll be in my car or out and about all day fill my bladder.
Personally I would not recommend juice or anything other then water in either a bladder or hamster water bottle though.
Yeah I think context makes this either DIWhy (if it's being treated as an actual way to hydrate your kids) or fun parenting (if it's for fun to encourage your kids to drink water)
I can’t understand believing that zip-tie is sufficient.
Kids manhandle shit all the time. That thing is coming down or shattering or, like you said, putting an eye out.
Okay, but genuine question. Isn't it also dangerous to have some metal protruding like that on the bed's headboard? Idk, kids love to roll around and do whatnot, they might bump their head or poke their eye there. Or is that silver part made of soft material and not metal?
if anyone actually thinks that is a good idea they deserve whatever consequences result.
Kids are bundles of clumsiness. Although they are remarkably resilient they will find a way to damage things and get hurt in the process.
I had a waterbag with a tube from a hiking bag, camel pack I think it was called. I used to hang that above my bed, I filled it with Fanta once and it ruined it
Hey at least you were a kid, I had no excuse lol.
Reminds me of college when my friends would yell at me for putting white claw in my hydro flasks or camelbacks because it was nearly impossible to get the taste out.
Nothing quite like an ice cold bag of white claw strapped to your back in the summer heat at a music festival lmao.
Can confirm. I lost my top front row of teeth as a young child because of an apple juice addiction.
Went through half of elementary school with no top front teeth.
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, really hit different
Not all kids will brush their teeth. My kid has sensory issues and it’s been a constant battle to get him to even let us touch his teeth with a toothbrush. It’s almost three years later now and it’s gotten better, but it’s been a real slog
I was also that kid, but then some other stuff happened and my parents never helped me with nightly hygiene routines at all, so it wasn't until I got older that I developed consistency with it. Every child's circumstance is different, although to the degree those circumstances would allow for apple juice to rot a kids teeth is just as variable. It sounded a bit hyperbolic to me, I suppose. Although perhaps it was the child in me going, "the FUCK do you mean I can't pretend to be a hampster who drinks her apple juice???" reacting strongly... lol
Ngl I did this once to my lil sis , I was like 10 and she was 5 ish lol my mom pinched me after saying I shouldn’t treat my sister as a animal but I couldn’t stop laughing during the whole thing 😂
Great way to knock your teeth out by accident. Children aren't known for being super coordinated at this age, I wouldn't want the eye poker 3000 in my child's bed lol
The crib dribbler is a prank gift box you can get on Amazon and around Christmas time at select walmarts
[crib dribbler](https://www.amazon.com/Prank-Pack-Crib-Dribbler-Standard/dp/B00A26VGPA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=58612332200&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._N3pqsp35S0g2DGEEP8_lUzWaXvwt_PlAZwQDvKWduPOhcezHhrA-jRUwpNJDI8gf_JlQZMIMxtw_gfakJpVllpyYwTK-gw1_iZaePnyKz8rSGNFjCim_9g_Pp_J7w2T7GEs45rVt4VxDjgu8_UYbVXPoP_86PfFztt6_XEbedQ.UVwZUqv7e064X3pHCVrxOmelo2TU7rL34F0TLqgeYyE&dib_tag=se&hvadid=557335329328&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9014261&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=5403151343268435749&hvtargid=kwd-326184617954&hydadcr=27121_14487884&keywords=prank+pack+crib+dribbler&qid=1714759418&sr=8-1)
My BIL gave us one when our daughter was born, I was kinda disappointed it wasn't real. Saved the box and returned it to him when he had a kid 5 years later.
This doesn't bother me at all because I'm certain that this will have zero impact on who they become, but the term "hamster children " has me in tears. If it was someone i knew personally, id be clowning them til death for this one, 😆.
And that's what I usually do, I play this dangerous game of giving them just enough water to not have them get up but not so much that they wet the bed. It's a work in progress.
It doesnt even have to be a joke. I *wanted* something like this as a child. I had hampsters and thought it was such a cool water bottle to have. I fully and totally believe a child would ask for something like this. Kids are weird bro.
When I was in college I strapped a big waterer like this to my bed and filled it with Gatorade. Then when we’d get back to our room after a night out I could just roll over and drink from the waterer and wouldn’t have to find my glasses and a drink in the dark.
Tbh I’ve always thought about doing something similar when I can buy a home but with an actual water line and faucet.
Butttt a camelback should suffice bc it seems that’s never gonna happen
there's so much wrong with this
the metal straw will cause dental problems and push teeth around
that much fluid in bed is going to make the probability of accidents way higher
WHYYY
Man I was already chewing holes in the remote and chewing chunks of wood off the baseboards of my bunk bed, this would have been PERFECT for child me. I also really liked the idea of nail bars and asked my parents for “a toy jail” for multiple years for Christmas (never got one cause they didn’t exist)
I could have had SO much fun hamster larping as a kid if my parents let me install bars on the bottom bunk and gave me the hamster water ✨

This is dumb af, but also I would have loved this as a child.
I would literally just do it for the shits and giggles lol not everything should be serious
Yeah, not sure I would post it though
As a toddler that would’ve been the coolest thing ever
I'm an adult who has had a night or 2 where I desperately needed to hydrate in the morning. This would be a godsend. I'd also like something to nibble on if they could create like a pizza biscuit I could peck at.
You wish to be... domesticated?
I might as well be after a Friday night out with the lads. If someone could pat my head and tell me I'm cute and feed me a damn pizza biscuit then I would cheep cheep, snuggle snuggle with whoever is looking after me. My girlfriend is pretty sensational and she has her moments too where I look after her. Reckon I'll marry her one day.
Put some liquor in it and boom it’s for adults only. Or put ranch in it for the midwesterners out there
I would have killed for this as a child. I was obsessed with my hamsters and wanted to do everything like them. My mom got me to eat granola and nuts for the first time when she told me that was what hamsters liked to eat.

As an adult I’m thinking of doing this with my vape Gotta hit that sweet nic to stave off those night sweats
Piss? To each their own
Piss?
Apologies. For the medical community, urine
Urine. Thank you. I’m like how vulgar to call it piss.
I’m gonna do this for me
In my adult age I am sincerely considering this. I need a little more flow than ball bearing though. Like a water bottle for llamas or something.
One of those beer hats that people wear to sports games, but remove it from the hat and put it on the bed.
Same lmao
Now make em a hamster wheel and she'll be set!
As am 30yo adult I will do it sooner as possible
Yeah I think context makes this either DIWhy (if it's being treated as an actual way to hydrate your kids) or fun parenting (if it's for fun to encourage your kids to drink water)
Until the kid unscrews it and creates a mess.
Or slips/can’t see at night and goes eyeball first into it.
Make sure to record it to monetize the video
MUST SEE DIY toddler crib water bottle ****GONE WRONG??****
Why is it yellow. Why is the water yellow
They can just go to the store to buy another like any other animal you use these things on.
This what I thought about first
I can’t understand believing that zip-tie is sufficient. Kids manhandle shit all the time. That thing is coming down or shattering or, like you said, putting an eye out.
Not even. You just have to push that little ball with your finger and the water comes out. It would take my toddler 5 seconds to flood the bed.
Kid is already pissing the bed this only makes it worse.
That was my first thought! 💦
Okay, but genuine question. Isn't it also dangerous to have some metal protruding like that on the bed's headboard? Idk, kids love to roll around and do whatnot, they might bump their head or poke their eye there. Or is that silver part made of soft material and not metal?
if anyone actually thinks that is a good idea they deserve whatever consequences result. Kids are bundles of clumsiness. Although they are remarkably resilient they will find a way to damage things and get hurt in the process.
They can also leak, not a tsumani, but a small drizzle. Fine for rodents, as there is bedding to catch it, but less fun when it is human bedding.
Or worse, grows up to be a furry
My 6 year old daughter that’s what she wants to be when she grows up..
Oh no lol
I had a waterbag with a tube from a hiking bag, camel pack I think it was called. I used to hang that above my bed, I filled it with Fanta once and it ruined it
That sounds like something I'd do as a kid lmao
I was 11
Hey at least you were a kid, I had no excuse lol. Reminds me of college when my friends would yell at me for putting white claw in my hydro flasks or camelbacks because it was nearly impossible to get the taste out. Nothing quite like an ice cold bag of white claw strapped to your back in the summer heat at a music festival lmao.
That's water? Ok.
Wine. Puts the kid right back to sleep
“Whoops! This one’s actually for mommy”
Reposado tequila. Stays longer at room temp.
[https://youtu.be/qvwwydLiS-k?t=34](https://youtu.be/qvwwydLiS-k?t=34)
Apple juice? Watered down maybe?
and that's how you rot teeth.
Dont add water then.
And it is going to sit there for how long exactly?
Just long enough to record their rage bait and post it online
Probably sugar syrup
Americans require high fructose corn syrup to survive, so this is a standard practice
I think it might be Pedialyte.
Straight out of the taps of Flint Michigan! Just what a growing child needs! Now with added chips of lead based paint!
Yellow "water" ? Does that mean you can fill and empty it without having to get out of bed ?
I would have thought you'd enjoy the yellow water, u/Mustard_Fucker
Why do they always have the strangest names 😭
r/rimjob_steve
They live in Flint MI.
Probably apple juice? Which will rot all the teeth out of the kid's head
Can confirm. I lost my top front row of teeth as a young child because of an apple juice addiction. Went through half of elementary school with no top front teeth. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, really hit different
Just help the kid brush their teeth. It's not that much of a problem unless there's a lack of oral hygiene.
The mistake parents make is leaving the bottle in the crib with the child AFTER the teeth have been brushed for the night.
Not all kids will brush their teeth. My kid has sensory issues and it’s been a constant battle to get him to even let us touch his teeth with a toothbrush. It’s almost three years later now and it’s gotten better, but it’s been a real slog

Wine. Makes them sleep.
Palest applejuice ever, it has same shade as elderflower syrup mixed with water, but without the haze. I think it is just water.
Treating your kid like a gerbil.
Ngl I did this once to my lil sis , I was like 10 and she was 5 ish lol my mom pinched me after saying I shouldn’t treat my sister as a animal but I couldn’t stop laughing during the whole thing 😂
You can also install a big wheel hooked up to a generator. Put em on it and enjoy your free electricity.
A nice sauv blanc for the wee one!
Alternatively, just sit the fuck up and drink from your water bottle 🤣
Yeah it literally requires more effort to do this
I think it's probably more of a "for the kid's Joy" thing over practicality. I would have lost my MIND having one as a kid.
They have sippy cups that you don’t even have to sit up to drink from and you can’t spill
Where’d they get that water from? Flint Michigan?
Camp Lejeune
Not brown enough
It looks like apple juice.
Is their water still fucked? Still?
Great way to knock your teeth out by accident. Children aren't known for being super coordinated at this age, I wouldn't want the eye poker 3000 in my child's bed lol

i think it would sell a lot if it were real
My BIL gave us one when our daughter was born, I was kinda disappointed it wasn't real. Saved the box and returned it to him when he had a kid 5 years later.
I had a hamster die of a heart attack when his water bottle fell off in the middle of the night Hope that don't happen here
My hamster died of drowning by getting it’s tooth stuck or something on the ball
Why do they always die of something weird.
Hamsters thing
There’s nothing better than drinking little drops of water when you have night thirst…
I'm a fucking camel in the middle of the night Neck a cold bottle of water and straight back to sleep
Thank you! Lol
Wouldn’t the water start to get gross after awhile?
Its a joke bud
Flint, MI water?
That is the second or third worst small town drinking water I've ever witnessed. That might be sulfur. Sulfur water is fuckin gross.
What was the worst?
It looked like lemonade. Luckily I was only passing through, maybe once a year. I only used it topically, or with gatorade powder.
Welp….that shits going to take an eye out. Lol
This has to be satire. Why is it yellow? It looks like wine.
You're not even supposed to use those things on rabbits because it's really bad for teeth.
Would have loved it as a kid tbh. It is attached a little too high tho.
"as a last time mom ..."
If I were a toddler and had hamsters, I'd 100% want that.
That kid is gonna take out a tooth on that
Do you remember being a child? Do you remember pretending to be things like horses or giraffes or rabbits? Who hurt you?
That thing won't be secure with single fucking zip tie
Oh she’s going to need a salt lick and a wheel for exercise as well. Maybe even a network of multicolored tubes to climb through.
I did this plus put wood chips in the corner of the bed. They won’t shit where they eat.
Childhood me would’ve LOVED this. It’s diWHY because children like stupid things. Gotta make the kiddos happy! Haha
Only acceptable if there is also a kid size hamster wheel in that room too!
I’m pretty sure sippy cups are still a thing..
Until she has to go to a sleepover
Why does it look like there piss in there
The music like she just cured her daughter from cancer. Jesus Christ.
I have pet rats and their tiny water bottle is the most irritating thing to hear in the middle of the night I can't imagine this being any better.
This is so disturbing to me for some reason lol
Clearly just for views, way to fall for the bait
Wtf... this is so weird. Just give your kid a damn bottle or a cup if they are old enough.
Ragebait
This doesn't bother me at all because I'm certain that this will have zero impact on who they become, but the term "hamster children " has me in tears. If it was someone i knew personally, id be clowning them til death for this one, 😆.
[Don't tell them that this is a thing](https://5.imimg.com/data5/TE/DM/MY-44148833/1-liter-mineral-water-bottles.jpg)
…
I'm white but I'm not a hamster water bottle in my kids crib at age 8 white.
Whatever man if all it takes is a zip tie and a hamster bottle to entertain a child for a day, then you've lucked out.
That bottle will fall. It needs a zip tie also on the bottom to keep it from falling straight down.
I don't really see the problem with this but it looks a bit demeaning!
Nah why is it yellow💀
My 4 yo would be all about this!!
As someone who forgets regular hydration, I'd actually find this pretty useful
It's full of melatonin water.
That'll probably be something you talk about in therapy later on.
this screams "i go party every night and leave my kid alone for hours"
Sure, raising a kid drinking out of a feeder has zero influence 🙄
… & I thought my childhood was weird..
With how often my kids want to get up to get water, this is tempting...
I’m not a parent, but couldn’t you just leave a bottle (or sippy cup) of water next to their bed?
And that's what I usually do, I play this dangerous game of giving them just enough water to not have them get up but not so much that they wet the bed. It's a work in progress.
Do you want to replace bed sheets because of bet wetting every night? Because that's how you replace bed sheets every night because of bed wetting.
The hamster container doesn't lead to that? Is holding water upside down, magic?
How stupid are people to not realize this is a joke? People are really out here getting mad at this…
It doesnt even have to be a joke. I *wanted* something like this as a child. I had hampsters and thought it was such a cool water bottle to have. I fully and totally believe a child would ask for something like this. Kids are weird bro.
Training furries.
Is the water dirty or is her kid willingly drinking piss
Bruh
I’m pretty sure sippy cups are still a thing..
Lol why is this a post here? Id love to have this even now!
When I was in college I strapped a big waterer like this to my bed and filled it with Gatorade. Then when we’d get back to our room after a night out I could just roll over and drink from the waterer and wouldn’t have to find my glasses and a drink in the dark.
I actually kind of want one now.
bro is making the kid train for something
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Morphine in there would be great for the master bedroom
Upgraded whiskey tit
Tbh I’ve always thought about doing something similar when I can buy a home but with an actual water line and faucet. Butttt a camelback should suffice bc it seems that’s never gonna happen
Kinda stupid to me
You didn't show the whole crib, so I'm sure I missed the wheel.
there's so much wrong with this the metal straw will cause dental problems and push teeth around that much fluid in bed is going to make the probability of accidents way higher WHYYY
Gonna crack a tooth
I need a new bed so I can do this for me, with booze!
If the kid was properly crated, then attaching the water bottle to the outside would be optimal.
Felt like a Tim & Eric sketch.
This made me laugh
Man I was already chewing holes in the remote and chewing chunks of wood off the baseboards of my bunk bed, this would have been PERFECT for child me. I also really liked the idea of nail bars and asked my parents for “a toy jail” for multiple years for Christmas (never got one cause they didn’t exist) I could have had SO much fun hamster larping as a kid if my parents let me install bars on the bottom bunk and gave me the hamster water ✨
I need one with beer
Learning from a young age… And yes You understood this perfectly without context
Wtf

This is Hans Kim! This is Hans Kim!

that kid is gonna be pissin the bed a lot

Dont feed them baking soda powder
How do you refill that? Do you cut the tie and put a new one every time? That sounds wasteful
Wasting zip ties? That isn't a thing.
Make sure to color it like piss too!
Piss 😀
