Since he's so small that makes it easier tho. I have a water bottle; so when I do offer him water - after Winkie's finished I can put it right back in the icebox.
Generally I have broccoli, carrots, corn kernels, peas, apple & a paring knife for slicing the carrots - occasionally green beans. Also Nutriberries & small things of millet in jars or bags.
Winkie's been on 10+ hr trips with no ill effects. As long as he has me & his cage he is happy.
