I've read in various places not to use distilled water in pet care under some circumstances; for example, some fish aquarium magazines/posts recommend against it, though usually it's OK as supplement to conditioned water. But I haven't read why it's not good to use. (I've also read in owner's manuals for tea kettles, coffee makers, etc., not to use distilled water. I assume some mineral content is needed to produce friction in heating the water.)
Anyway, I have used distilled water regularly to soak pellets for my Hermann's tortoise and for his drinking water. Any thoughts or advice on this? I'm concerned that, as can often happen, by trying to take extra precautions, I might actually be causing a problem. Thanks to all.
