Barney died a week and a half ago, I have to say that I have found it really interesting to see the difference in the hutch contents. I always thought Barney was the big drinker but that has been confirmed now as Toby has only about 10mls out of the bottle when the level used to go down by at least 100mls, there very little pee and hardly any smell. There is also only a tiny proportion of the poop in the hutch too! Clearly Barney was full of it!
 
It’s funny, isn’t it how they vary? Until we got piggy cam (a present from my sis) I thought the wrong pig was the big drinker in our house. Think that’s because one drinks very noisily so I often notice her, whereas the big drinker drinks quietly and doesn’t attract attention.
If the wee and poop output is significantly down are you sure that Toby is eating enough? Could he be mourning his brother and perhaps not eating as much as normal? X

I had worried about Toby not eating so kept a close eye on him and he is, keeping his weight stable too. X
