Despite making sure my Baxter has plenty of fresh water in his bowl from the time he gets up in the morning until the time he goes to bed at night he insists on drinking from puddles or from the bird bath in the garden whenever he gets the chance.
I can't work out why he would do this; I change the water every meal time and whenever it gets bits of food in it. I have used tap water, filtered water and have even tried bottled water but he still drinks rainwater when he can.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions to stop this?
So far it doesn't seem to be doing him any harm but I worry that he may pick something up from doing this.
