Any tips to get piggies...

[Lucy & Poppy]

Drinking water from their bottle rather than a bowl? My smaller one has started to sip at the bottle but still prefers the bowl and the bigger one Lucy hasnt touched the bottle at all. I am not bothered which they drink from really but have noticed that the bowl is getting dirty quickly and they sometimes use it as a loo! So obv don't want ill piggies...

Any tips?

I think just take the bowl out all together and give them plenty of watery veg, they'll soon look for another source of water and get used to the bottle. You could always stick treats through the bars right next to the bottle so that they realise its there.....

My pigs go mad for my fingers and want to lick them, so I use to tap the ball at the end of the nosel. They would approach it and when giving my finger a lick, noticed there was water an have used it ever since! My most enquisitive pig did this, then my other girly played follow the leader.

When I rescued meena and Iza they were apparently using a bowl so I got a little water bottle for them to start out with so that the water flowed easily and it was easier for me to monitor their drinking and then I gave them things like cucumber and washed celery eventually they seeked the water out! and now they are pros in the world of water bottles!
