Wondering what water precautions are used when offered to your animals.

I give mine bottled water every second day, sometimes with a pro-biotic added to it.

Then again I'm the kinda folk who drinks bottled water myself so go figure Exclamation Rolling Eyes Laughing

I do use tap water, sometimes treated with Exo Terra's aquatize. I was concerned about chloramines, so checked with my local water board, and was sent details of the treatments they use, thankfully they don't use chloramines.

Chloramine does not dissperse even when you leave the water to stand for 24hrs, so best to check.
