i've to guinea never ever seem to drink a lot as there water bottle doesnt seem to go down very fast is this normal or could they have something wrong as all other guineas drink normally:)
 
Do they have quite a lot of greens, if so maybe they don't feel the need to drink much as they can get moisture from the greens. Sometimes the water bottles don't release much water too, just worth a check.
 
Guinea pigs generally don't drink very much, or at least, mine don't.

I agree with the theory that it's all the veggies they eat!
 
All piggies are different - some are big drinkers whilst others don't drink much at all. Run veggies under the cold tap before giving them to your piggie and feed them fruit/veggies high in water content like celery, kiwi, etc.
