Hello and welcome to the forum.

Maybe she is just very happy with her new larger cage? How old is she?

As you said she was in a glass cage which isnt suitable for piggys, maybe her appetite lacked when being in the glass cage because of poor circulation of air etc. As long as she is happy and isnt losing weight I'm sure she is fine.

Most guinea pigs will round about and explore the area when they feel safe and may even be pop-coring what you said she is doing?

With regards to pooping and peeing in the water maybe when she is running about it flicks in there? Has she got a friend as piggys love companions and are best kept in pairs.
 
i dont know how old she, but she looks little still, hopefully that she's happy with it.
this is my first time owning one...
I'm glad i moved her from the auarium then thats horrible to think about.
well I'm plaining on buying her a buddy this weekend, but i wanted them both to be comfy but not crampt.
 
Many piggies poo and pee in their water. Can you switch her to a bottle? It may take a while until she catches on, though!

I'm sure that your girl enjoys the bigger space and is popcorning (jumping and running like mad) all over her new big home - that makes a mess; but it is something that only happy guinea pigs do. Has she got a companion?
