I don't suppose there are any solutions, but has anyone ever resolved an issue with their piggies literally attacking the water bottle? My baby amber has been at it all day! It's making such a racket!

I can't give them a bowl, they are too scatty for a bowl, I went in their room this morning to find pellets chucked all over the floor! So they would probably drown in a water bowl.

This is going to keep me awake and I don't know what to do?

Thanks
 
Not nice when you are sleeping in the piggy room. Could you put a water bowl on a little shelf or elevation so the piggies can't really jump into it or casually tip it over?:(

I have been woken up early as well by rattling water bottles since I had to move downstairs to at least get SOME sleep.
 
Well they are actually in the spare room but they may aswell be in the same room!

I'm not sure how I could elevate a bowl to be honest...... And I would worry about them now drinking.

Ear plugs it is!
 
My piggies water bottle make a loud and distinct sound when they are drinking. And it can wake me up on middle of the night. It's even loud while I'm watching Tv because they are drinking constantly. I think they know it bothers me. And they drink more. :-) but I just ignore them. It's a great bottle it doesn't lick but it make a loud noise.
 
Maybe try a Sippy water bottle as these don't have the noisy metal spouts - not sure where you get them from tho xx

My piggies have a way to make even these "quieter" bottles clang, lol. Although I must admit the majority of the piggies make less noise with them than the original bottles, there is one pig in particular who likes to make as much noise as possible :))
 
We sleep next to pigs without a full wall between them. We use a Sippy and the noise never wakes us up.
