Question
HI, I WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD A GP DRINK DAILY?
I HAVE TWO 3 MONTH OLD FEMALE GUINEA PIGS AND I CHANGE THE WATER DAILY , ADD VITAMIN DROPS AND I NOTICE HARDLY ANY WATER MISSING. I HAVE GIVEN THEM TAP WATER AND TRIED FILTERED WATER FROM MY FRIDGE , IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IS THIS NORMAL?
                                 THANKS  

Answer
Hi Lesley

As long as the water bottle is working correctly, the piggies will drink as much water as they need.

Your piggies are quite young so their water intake will increase as they get older. You also need to take into account the water they receive from the vegetables you give them.
