So far he seems to need his food runny, so I think he's getting a good deal of water in that. I try to give him some by syringe after he eats, but he turns his head away and fights. As for the dish, Boo-Boo used to love drinking water from a dish, he and my first fuzzie, Pixie, both did. BUT, we have a fuzzie we got back in September/early October, and he's a water digger. lol He's a huge guy, but laid back and gentle, and he looooves to dig in his food, and a water dish is empty within seconds if he finds it. lol Boo-Boo also loves to stick his nose under a water dish and tip it over---he's also a food digger as well.
I dont' have a feeding bottle for Boo-Boo. I use a syringe to give him his food and water and even Nutra-Cal. Sometimes he'll take nutra-cal off my finger, but sometimes he's not interested in eating anything. He's been better though since we started feeding him every 4 hours!

try putting a small dish of water in with him.
Sometimes mine will drink out of dish when they won't
drink out of a bottle.
