I think you have a faulty bottle.  Try another one, and the gerbils should
both drink happily.  The non-drinking gerbil is the clever one.  She has
realised the bottle is a dud and does not bother to drink from it.  The fact
that you can squeeze water out of the bottle, does not indicate that it will
deliver water when the gerbil has a gentle suck.
