I know this is a dumb question but I can't quite remember. I put water in my new pigs water bottle yesterday around 4:30 pm and it is now 1:13 pm. She only drank a little of her water can I keep the old water or is it a must to refill?

Well if you want her having fresh water, then yes, but you don't have to refill it, if she drank hardly any.

If you're concerned your piggie isn't getting enough water, spray her veggies down with small bottle of water before feeding her. GP's drinking habits also depend on the time of year. If it's summer and very hot they're more likely to drink more, etc.

Once a day a good rinsing out is enough with fresh water added after. And about every other day a good washing. I use a bottle brush for baby bottles a tiny bit of vinegar and hot water and scrub it out and then rinse with cool water to bring the temperature back down of the bottle. Cavies tend to like their water fresh and cool.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is a new pig to a new environment and she is a young and small pig. Therefore what she is eating and drinking is nornal for her and her situation.

I always empty the old water out everday and add fresh, also bottle brush them every week. Their bowls I change two or three times, depending if a stray poop has got in.
Its always best to change the water daily. With the hot weather we've been having, I've been changing the bottles twice a day, as they do prefer it to be nice and cool.

My Peachy also enjoys dipping her newspaper pieces in it before she eat it. She even carries her cardboard toilet rolls to the bowl and dunks them in before eating. I must try and get her on a movie doing it.
