What's 'a long time'? Ten years? Twenty years? We have no clue what the long term effects of any animal drinking only distilled water is. However, we are very much up to speed on how mineralized water effects the many organisms who rely on it.So distilled water doesn't have minerals, should I use bottled water with added minerals instead? What kind of minerals do they actually need and why would you say that distilled water with no minerals is dangerous to use? It's been working for me for a long time now.
