I have 3 sows, Edie, Marmalade and Willow and they all live together quite happily. I've noticed over the past few days they've started to drink more, and I thought it was just because the weather was getting warmer but the weather hasn't changed that much, so I wouldn't expect them to be drinking this much more water. They have two 320ml bottles and they very nearly empty both of them in about a day. This doesn't seem very much to me but they used to only drink half of each bottle. Is the amount they're drinking now anything to worry about?
 
Hiya, it may be because of the hot weather. Have you changed the veggies that you've been giving them at all or their hay or water? It may be a difference in their diet? If they're all drinking more then I wouldn't worry too much but if just one has begun to drink excessively then I'd take a closer look xx
