Question
Hi. My 7 month old pot bellied piglet is peeing and peeing ALOT. She seems to want to drink entire bowls of water and pee huge ponds of pee all day. Is it ok? do they just pee alot-all the time? or is something wrong.

Answer
Water is good for the pigs but it is unusual for them to drink a lot.
The reverse is true, most pigs don't drink enough.
Diet might have something to do with it.
Or, having the water bowl and feed bowl right next to each other (try moving them apart).
Is the pig getting salty treats?
I doubt if something is "wrong".
Sometimes they will drink a lot out of boredom.
Good luck,
