        I’ve been giving my bunny Poland spring water, my husband wants me to give him either tap water or filtered water. Keep in mind we don’t drink our tap water we drink Poland spring.

        I’m concerned to switch because I really believe the tap water is what gave my other bunnies cancer last year and they both died months apart last year.

        any thoughts?

          You can get your water tested to help inform your decision.

            Bottled spring water is usually just a municipal well, so it may not be much different than your tap water. The concern with municipal tap water (if there is one) is more often contamination from lead pipes, etc. Now if you have a private well, that is a different story and there is the potential for all kinds of contaminants. I agree that it may be worth having your water tested before making a decision. You can also buy cheap water in gallon jugs (also refillable) at the grocery store if you’re wanting to give them bottled water, but still cut down on the expense a bit.

                We switched our buns to bottled spring water a couple of years ago. Our tap water where we live was developing a strange chlorine/chemical-y taste and my husband (who is kind of anti-tap water for drinking/cooking to begin with) decided we should maybe switch the buns to spring water.

                We buy the gallon jugs at the grocery store for around $1.39 each. We are filling 3 bunny bottles. The gallon lasts us between 5 and 6 days, depending on if its warm out and they’re drinking more. I know there are 3 and 5 gallon jugs that are more cost effective, I just find them difficult to handle to pour lol.
