I've adopted a rescue guinea pig who has experienced neglect. He appears to drink very little water , pee is dark yellow and I think this is a product of his previous circumstances. I wonder if he couldn't easily access food and water so only has small amounts. He's eating a lot of hay and his veg , not much dry food.

What can I do to encourage more water consumption? I think he's having the minimum amount but it concerns me. My previous piggy drank twice the amount.
 
Two of my piggies drink very little water, the other two drink loads. You could rinse all the veggies with water, that way he gets a drink while eating the veggies
