Hi all, just wondering how concerned i should be; during the last 24 hours my 2 piggies water bottle has remained full; they are otherwise acting normally; they both eat a good amount of peppers but still usually drink a fair amount? any ideas?
 
I wouldn't worry; the daily intake can vary a lot. If you are worried, I would check the bottle as to whether the spout is clean and working fully. Otherwise, they will drink as soon as they are thirsty again.
 
I agree some piggies drink a lot some very little at all. If the bottles working fine then it might be a case they are getting enough hydration from their veggies and no needing to take on anymore via the bottle.
