Why do my piggies twist there heads, so they drink from the water bottle upside down. Anyone know if it tastes better that way.

It must taste better! Teddy also did that (and had a fixation of drinking two times, then touching with his teeth one side of the drinking part, and then drinking again 
)

I think they find it easier to drink that way! They do seem to have flexible necks. Not a daft question at all, I once asked if poop was meant to smell a lot
in my defence, websites say they smell not at all/sweet. I wonder if they actually own pigs
either it's easier for them to drink, or thy're just furballs.

My piggies used to tip there heads but I then moved there bottle up a bit and they drank normally. Maybe it's because of the heightI think they find it easier to drink that way! They do seem to have flexible necks. Not a daft question at all, I once asked if poop was meant to smell a lot

Yeah, I think so too. Mine sometimes tilt sometimes not.

I agree that raising the water bottle might just make it easier for them to drink.
My two have different drinking techniques. I got a bit paranoid that Luna was spending more time at the bottle than Ginny. When I sat and watched them I figured out it's because Luna is ever so lady like, licking at the ball in the spout, getting only a small amount at a time. Whereas Ginny sticks as much of the spout as she can down her throat as possible, and gulps it down like a darts player
