My piggies eat lots and lots of fresh food and their dried excel but don't seem to touch the water. In fact, I've never seen them drink! The level on the water bottle has not gone down in the (it's one of those flat sided ones that goes on the outside of the cage) and I change the water to lovely fresh clean cool stuff daily. I'm a bit worried...I don't want my piggies to become dehydrated! :-\
If your piggies are getting veggies with a high water content like cucumber & celery then they are getting fluids. They are all different, i have some that seem to be attached to their bottles, others hardly touch them
They do seem to like the cucumber the best, perhaps that why they don't like to drink. Do cucumber have any nutrition for the guinea pigs? I only ask as I seem to go through a lot of it for my boys since they love it. I don't want to do them any harm!

I don't think they have a very high nutrician value but piggies seem to absolutely love it - they'll be getting a lot of water from the veg. Mine go through phases - some times they drink loads and other times its never touched.
