You will have to provide your cavy with a water source and a container
to put his pelleted feed in. A heavyweight crock, one the cavy cannot
tip over, is ideal for pelleted feed. The dish should not be so large
that the cavy decides it would make a great place to sit and sleep. Some
cavies do get into the bad habit of defecating in their feed dish and
thereby spoiling the feed. This undesirable habit usually starts when
too large a feed dish is used. An open crock should not be used as a
feed container. Since cavies like to cavort about their cage you will
soon find the water unfit to drink. A water bottle with a ball-bearing
tip is ideal. The size of the bottle you need depends upon how many
cavies are housed in one cage. An eight-ounce bottle will serve one cavy
and a sixteen-ounce bottle can serve two or three. |
