Is this normal, another guinea pig question?

Question

Look I know I've asked this before but every TWO days I'll be filling his 16 oz water bottle because it goes empty quick. Like the first day I fill it up with water, about 12 oz will already be missing. He doesn't seem to have diabetes cause he shows no signs, he's fat and doesn't have a wet bottom or anything like that. Is this perfectly normal?

Answer 1

when a guinea pig drinks alot of water then that a sign that hes hot or that your not feeding him hardlly any veggies.

you are probably just feeding him pellets no?

Answer 2

Check if the water bottle is leaking. If it is then you might want to move it around to a place where the water doesn't come out easily or just buy a new one because it may be broken.

Answer 3

that is not normall

Answer 4

Thats fine, if he's not got a wet bottom or any thing he's probs just thirsty, if he only eats dryfood and hay, you could give him moist treats like carrot which may quench his thirst.

Answer 5

That isn't normal... The average guinea pig only drinks 6-10 oz of water per day... Check and make sure the water bottle isn't leaking... if it isn't you should read about it in a book or on a website... How hot is it around the cage, because i know that Chili, my guinea pig, drinks a lot more when it is about 75 or hotter... Hope this helped! :0)

Answer 6

check to make sure your water bottle isnt draining. this happened to me a couple times. it could have a leak that you can fix with a glue gun. or you can go get a glass one
