| Slobbering Guinea Pig
Bunny is about to drive me nuts with her constantly slobbering out water when she drinks. And it's not just a little bit on her chin or anything; she plays with the tube more than she actually drinks. I thought it was a leaky water bottle at first and switched from the ball variety to the kind with a metal switch.
It's gotten worse as she's gotten used to the new type of water bottle and I came home on Friday to find half the cage full of soggy aspen bedding. I'm at my wit's end. I have a bath towel under there that has to be changed twice daily, as well as a shallow saucer, which she lays in whether or not there's water in it (I swear sometimes she senile). Anyone else have pigs like this? How did you solve such problems? She's constantly wet, her cagemates don't like using the water bottle anymore, and I just can't afford to be replacing soggy bedding and washing yucky towels on a daily basis. |
