I'm not sure whether to be concerned about how much water Caz and Jaz drink.

They get through around 150ml between them in each 24hr period.

Most of that is drunk by Casran.

I've checked potential health problems but Casran is definitely not losing weight or lethargic in any way.

I thought you guys would know more about acceptable drinking amounts.

Thanks.
 
I've often wondered if it's normal myself because 3 of my guinea's tend to drink a lot of water but I've also read it varies from guinea to guinea, so I've no idea, I'd be interested to see the answer as well.
 
I believe consuming 300ml or more in a day is abnormal. I wouldn't really worry too much about that 150ml :)
 
Hi there , as the others have said l would't be to concerned ,
Though some things to cheq,, is the ball in your nosele dripping ?
Perhaps cheq for any water that has bult up under the nosil in the bedding
Ie, If you use vet bed and you put papper under it , cheq for any acsses under the nozzel !

But even if there isent, l still woldnt be botterd

The newspaper under the water bottle is soaked actually.
 
:D If the bottle holder is too tight it can cause the bottle to drip steadily, slowly emptying the bottle.
 
I've noticed the bottles drip more with a sudden change of temperature, particularly the one on the outside run if the sun gets on it. I'm with the others I don't think 150ml is excessive, mine use about the same amount.
