If you have the water bottles where there is the ball inside of it and the water comes out as they lick it and my kits had no other fert to show them how to do it they just pick it up very easy and my ferts were allot younger than 12weeks when they were drinking from this so this method can completely assure you that the water cannot get dirty and is clean all the time therfore Campylobacter cannot get in there.....Belinda

I know3 from years back (2000) when i had a near impossible time keeping
the water food sources for small kits clean-- the three at age 12 weeks
showed prolapsed rectums-- the test results were campylocter-- though they
had been kept clean for some time- and one was in an adoptive home the
infection took a while to get out of control. All 3 responded well to
medication but beware!
So BEWARE of fouled water this is especially important in hot summer
months or climates with high tem,ps. That algae etc can cause an upset
that may go undetected for a while. You don't need kits fouling water to
have this happen!
