Why is my hamster drinking more water than usual but acting normal?

Question

My hamster has recently begun to drink more water than usual. She looks and acts the same except for taking a long water break every night. Her cage doesn’t smell different and her urine and feces are the same. She is a robonowski hamster. Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Female

Thanks for reaching out about Cloud. Increased water consumption can be an indication of early kidney disease, but other conditions such as a urinary tract infection, diabetes, liver disease, uterine disease and behavioral changes can also be relevant. If the problem persists, seek a visit with a veterinarian. Good luck.
