Bird waterbottles for the pigs?

[Ruthies owner]

My Ruthie has a water bottle that is supposed to be for birds. When I am at school my mom sees her banging the bottle. Do birds have stronger tongues than pigs? If yes, any small water bottles that you would reccomend?

why small?

my thoughts exactly...

The bigger the ball the easier it is for them to drink. My pigs always bite the spout because it's harder for them to drink out of the bottle I guess. So bigger would be better. And could it be that she doesn't have water there because it's such a small water bottle? I know my pigs go through one medium/large sized bottle every day between them all...so such a small bottle is probably empty and she wants more. Plus I would imagine a bird water bottle would be harder for her to drink out of because of the small thin opening.

your pigs share? ok, i have a few questions. you have four pigs right? if they all share, how many oz is your waterbottle? mine is 16 oz, two girls will be sharing. is this enough for a whole day?

I actually have two water bottles, but I was using one as an example. Mine are...I think they're...ok, I have to check....yeah, they're 16 oz a piece. I think one should be ok for two pigs for one day, as long as you check it in the AM and in the PM before you go to bed.
