Your Guinea Pig's Water Bottle

Your guinea pig needs access to fresh, clean water at all times. A water bottle works better than a water bowl since the bowl can be knocked over easily or contaminated with bedding and droppings. Check that the water bottle is large enough for your pig’s needs and change the water daily. This bottle should have a stainless steel sipper tube with a stainless ball bearing at the end to keep the water bottle from leaking. Hang the bottle on the side of your pig’s enclosure in a spot away from where he normally urinates so he doesn’t get wet and you know whether the bottle is leaking. Hang it low enough that your guinea pig can reach it easily but high enough that it doesn’t touch the bedding since it could leak or become contaminated. Thoroughly clean the water bottle with a bottlebrush during your weekly complete cage cleaning. For more information, contact your Greensboro, NC veterinarian.
