water consumption

Question
My two year old guinea pigs seem to be drinking a good deal of water lately (over a pint in a 24 hour period) is this normal, or could it be a symptom something else is wrong?

Answer
Hi Della

It is a possibility that your piggies' drinking indicates an underlying problem. I would consult a vet qualified to deal with piggies to do an examination to be on the safe side. Any problem might be relatively minor but its best to get it checked.

If there is anything else I can help with, or if you have any other relevant info, please let me know.
