Drinking water

Claire W · Mar 2, 2009

My girls tend to go through phases where one minute their water doesn't seem to be touched and the next they drink quite a lot. This past week they have been drinking more. They have drank half a bottle since yesterday afternoon! Is this normal?

i don't know but my 2 are exactly the same, they have 2 larger waterbottles now incase they go through one quickly and run out!

Mine are doing the same Claire - do you feed readigrass? This can make piggies drink more

Mine go through phases as well - just now, they are in a not drinking a lot mood but a couple of weeks ago they were drinking half a bottle a day.

mine do that too! some days it is like a small amount gone and other days 1/2 bottle! I think it depends what veg they get as some has more water than others!
