Hi there everyone,
I just have a few dumb questions but I'll start off with explaining the situation. I have a 7 month old skinny pig with a water bottle that constantly leaks! This is my second water bottle that he's used and both times it has ended in his paper bedding getting soaked and me changing it every hour or 2. I watched him drink tonight and realized that he doesn't quite understand the concept of closing his mouth around the bottle as he drinks so he catches the water that he's satisfied with and lets the rest fall to the floor of his cage. After he gets his drink and goes back to playing the water bottle sometimes even continues to drip! But the point of this post is to ask a few questions so...
1. Does anyone else have this same problem?
2. What do you have under the bottle to catch any drips?
3. Even if you haven't had this problem what would you recommend, or what do you use to absorb water in your pig's cage?
Thanks in advance
