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 bowl that can be knocked over easily or contaminated with litter or droppings. Choose a water bottle that is large enough to meet your pig’s daily needs. Choose a bottle with a stainless steel sipper tube at the end with a ball bearing to keep it from leaking. Hang the bottle on the side of the enclosure away from where your guinea pig normally urinates. Hang it high enough so it doesn’t touch the bedding but low enough that your pig can reach it easily. Check the water level throughout the day. Change the water daily. Thoroughly clean the water bottle with a bottlebrush during your weekly cage cleaning or more often if there is algae on the sides of the bottle.
