For my birds (parrots, canary) I use ACV in their water, 4 tablespoons per gallon. I use the organic kind with the "mother". It helps their digestion (prevents "sour crop"), and their feathers gleam. When I started them on ACV I cut the dose in half and then increased it gradually.
I was wondering if anyone gives ACV water to their rats? Or would it be harmful to them in some way?
Another question: I know chlorine in tap water is harmful to pets. For my other pets I use the same water conditioner I use in my fish tanks (Seachem Prime). It removes both chlorine and chloramine. I have never noticed any harmful effects on my cats, reptiles, birds, or rodents. Would this be appropriate for rats as well? Right now for my rattie boys I'm just letting the water sit out to age for three days.
