Some pigs think it's fun to play with the bottle- if your piggie is pushing the ball in with their nose, that could be an explanation. I would try to spy on them to see if this is what's happening.
 
Duck touches the bottom of the spout with his nose before he drinks, I assume to find the right place to put his mouth. Once they are up close to the bottle it must be hard for them to see the end of the spout.
Brillo sticks his bottom teeth up the spout and lets the water run down his chin. His fleece pad under the bottle is always wet!
 
Sir George also likes to let it run down his chin. I'm not overly sure of his method but it's very noisy and definitely spills more than drinks. The fleece pad under his bottle also needs changing daily.
