I always used to see all my piggies drinking a few times a day, however the past few days, Smudge is always at the water bottle, and its always the same water bottle. Since she appears to be drinking a lot more, I haven't noticed the other piggies drinking as much as they usually do, although I think I am just noticing Smudge drink loads. Could this be anything to worry about?
How much is normal

Not sure if this helps but I see my piggies drinking from the water bottle almost every 10-15 minutes when I'm in the same room with them. They drink a lot and the 2 of them go through an entire 12oz bottle every day.
Some piggies can suddenly change their drinking behaviour for a few days. It can indicate a beginning UTI (urinary tract infection, which are quite common at this time of the year).
If it persists and exceeds 300ml per day, please have Smudge checked for diabetes or kidney problems, especially if it coincides with weight loss episodes.

Hopefully, it is just one of these things and will go back to normal again without anything being the matter.
