Hi all,

Not worried...more curious really...

I adopted my two girls about 4 months ago. They're around 2 years old. We have them in our living room so we watch them a lot and know their little quirks well.
I noticed Sue Pig has always drunk a lot of water. No matter what the weather is. No noises/wheeking when weeing, spotted a bit of sludge a few times (might not be her) so we've cut out nuggets, give filtered water and rarely give excessive calcium veggies. Other than that, she's been totally fine! I havent monitored the exact amount she is drinking, but her pal Frankie Pig barely drinks most days. She's the biggest (and fastest) eater out of the two, loves her Timothy Hay, is not losing any weight and seems to be living her best life. I've checked her over and looked at her lady bits. All fine and no bad smells. No dodgy looking poops either.

Anyone else have or had a piggie that drinks water like its going out of fashion? Is she just a gal who loves a drink?
