looking for some advice

[Justin3130]

hello,
i just got my first piggie about 3 days ago and he hasn't touched his waterbottle once. I made a note of where the level of the water is (there is a picture of a guinea pig on it and the water level is at the top of it's head) and the level has not receded at all. he is eating a little bit, and when i give him fresh veggies he gobbles them up but im most worried about the water situation. has anyone had this problem and know what to do.
thanks for anyones help!

This is a very common new owner worry but there is not a problem.Your piggy is obtaining the fluids he needs from his veg

He may be getting enough water from veggies. How do his poops look?

Did he have the same kind of bottle in his previous place?

Read http://www.guinealynx.info/healthycavy.html and weigh him daily at first.

Are you sure the water bottle is working properly? If you push in the metal ball at the end, some water should come out. I have found that some pigs don't like certain brands of waterbottle so perhaps you could try a different brand as well to see if your pig prefers that.
