Water Bottles
Water bowls can be used but they get tipped over constantly, get the bedding wet, are very messy,
and are not recommended.
You
can use wire or bottle hangers to attach bottles to the cage, but companies
such as KW make and sell spring bottle attachments that are wonderful. Small
bungee cords can also be used. Try to get the largest size bottle that you
can. KW also sells some awesome bottle brushes for cleaning bottles.
Tip: if your cavy loves to play with its water bottle, stick a coop cup
underneath the nozzle to catch excess water. You can also put a clean brick
underneath the nozzle - the brick will soak up the water and is a nice cool
spot for your piggy.
I have some pigs who like to play with their water bottles. I caught one
boar leaning against the side of the cage, tongue on the nozzle, just
letting it dribble down his chin and soak the bedding. Stinker.
