Messy drinkers?

[Spencer and Me]

Since moving the piggies into their newer and bigger cage, I've notice they seem to be drinking A LOT. When I watched them drink from their water bottle it looked they they were dribbling quite a bit. It's making a mess under their water bottle and I was wonder what I could do to fix this or help it? xx>>>

You could put a very shallow dish underneath or if you have fleece put a puppy pad under that area to soak up the excess?

My Dexter does the same thing. Its like a wee waterfall dribbling down is chin

I asked the same sort of question and it was suggested to me to use a bird feeder cup or the pampers disposable changing mats, or as AndreaJane suggested the puppy mats.

Thats the thread to my post, i think AndreaJane commented on that too :p

Ive used the puppy mats and didnt like them but they might work for you. I tryed the bird feeder which is a really good idea but the type of cage i have it wouldnt clip on right to the side of the cage. I havent tryed the pampers mats but i think I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks a bunch everyone! Putting something more absorbent underneath is going to be in my plan for the next cage renovation
