Advice for Teaching a Guinea Pig to Drink???

I just got a 6 week old guinea pig yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, he seems to not be familiar with a water bottle, and has yet to drink. The water level is the exact same as it was 24 hours ago, and I am worried that he might get dehydrated. He also does not like grapes, oranges, or tomatoes. We do not have any melon either. Any tips on teaching him how to drink? I have already tried gently pushing the tip to his mouth, but he just shies away. If I let water drip onto my fingers, he licks it off, but does not associate the tube with water.
