Is there such a thing as a stand for a water bottle so the girls can drink without it being attached to their cage?

They are always thirsty after floor time so I'd love to be able to have a stand for their bottle so they can enjoy a longer floor time...

You could use extra grids, if you have them. I'd recommend making a triangle with them so it doesn't get knocked over. Or you could find a way to fasten the water bottle to a chair leg or something.

I use either extra grids ziptied together, or a toddler supergate for floor time (so the pigs can't get under the table and chairs where I wouldn't be able to get them) which has holes and can hold a bottle perfectly.

Do you think they would use a water dish or just dirty it up? Also you could make a makeshift stand out of an extra grid.

I use extra grids, or attach it inside the cage so it's pointing outwards.

Water dishes get dirty really quickly, and if your pigs are used to bottles, they may not drink out of them anyway. I would find a way to attach a water bottle.
