Changing Water Bottle

Question
Hello Andy, Kim and Gerald here. We have a question about our 6 week old piggie. Is it necessary to refill her water bottle each day or is it okay for her to let the water she has to stay in the bottle for a day. I hope I'm asking this question with some sense. We've been giving her fresh water each day, but doesn't seem to be drinking a lot, however she is drinking. By the way, she's not coughing as much as she was a few weeks ago. Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi again Kim and Gerald, I hope you are well.

Its best to refill the water with fresh supply each day so it is just nicer for the piggy. After all, we wouldnt neccesarily want to drink water that had been left in a cup for a day or two.

Nice to hear from you again.

Andy
