Health & WellbeingHello, My guinea pig Sweetpea doesn't seem to be drinking as much water as she should be, she is eating well, asking for treats, playful (popcorning) and being silly but I noticed she's not drinking much water. What might I try to promote drinking h
Thank you for using PetCoach, Jill! Guinea pigs typically don't drink much water and tend to make a mess of any water dishes placed in their cage. You can make sure Sweetpea stays hydrated by offering her treats such as carrots, cucumbers, and melon. As long as Sweetpea is urinating, defecating, and acting normally, you should not need to be overly concerned. I hope all is well!
