maybe train them. it probaly works. Or if you cant train them give them their water bowl back and buy another pet like a hamster and practice training them.

for new gerbils or hamsters they spray with a spray bottle some water by the sipper so the gerbil or hamster gets the idea that water comes from it. Also gerbils dont drink much. He might just not be thirsty

put the bowl under the bottle sprout. They should eventually learn to use the bottle.
Try putting some vegetable oil on the tip and they will lick it and hopefully discover that they can get water form it.
