heard that filtered water or spring water is good for bunnies. and chlorine is a poison that has a detrimental affect on all animals. and fluoride draws calcium out of bones causing them to become more brittle over time.  i give my bunnies filtered water 'cause my dad bought this filter system and we drink from there. but sometimes i'm too lazy to get it (from the kitchen), so i give them tap water.  think i've to make it a point to give them filtered water then... ;D |

I cheated ;D
I have no bunny, but can i vote? I'd give my bunny (if i have one) boiled water. The same goes for my hammies now. They r all drinking boiled water. I read somewhere that tap water is not good. It;s more advisable to give them boiled water. Boiled water kills chlorine and bacteria.
Better dun try out Newater for ur bunnies now. My God sis who is working at AVA told me that it is still unsafe to drink and it contains a lot of chlorine.

Our mineral water are not pure water leh. They just call it mineral water as a name only. I still think that our home water is the safest. Not too sure abt distilled water though.

darkcloud > filtered water or spring water is said to be good...
think if no filtered water, the 2nd best way is boiled water liao... at least can get rid of some chlorine which is poison to bunnies.
but as for fluoride... boiled water can get rid or not ah?

I chose boiled water, but i have tried giving my pets mineral water before... u know the evian type brand. ;D but then it is way to costly lor...  so, cheaper to use boiled water lor... as wat puppy said, i also heard from dr ling, that we should at least try to give boiled water, although distilled water is the BEST  |
