Amount a piggie will drink?
Before I got mine I read tey didn't really drink that much but I'm having to fill my water bottle up sometimes twice a day for them as it's empty :o
I think one may be preg but not 100% but all she does is drink and Tucker drinks a lot as well but not as much as Pippin she can be there drinking for 5mins at a time 98)
Just wondered if it was normal? :)
 
It varies really. I have two boars that don't drink at all, but they get plenty of veg. 2 of my Sows and my other 2 lone boars drink a lot about 150ml between them.

:)
 
As Louise says, it varies from pig to pig, I had a boar who barely drank anything, but I have others who drink about 70ml a day, it's hard to tell - have you checked your water bottle to see if it may be leaking? (I know it sounds silly, but the bottles can be a bit rubbish like that!)
 
yep my two get a big bowl of fresh veg a day as well and sometimes extras when I'm not looking the kids will give them the salad of there plate ;D ;D

Nope bottle not leaking as i have a drip tray thing so would see. Think the bottle holds about 250ml so they must easily be having about 300/350ml a day :D
 
my piggies dont drink from their water bottle so i put lots of water on their veg :)
