And this is not entirely uncommon. When I had 30+ breeding BPs at one time I did have one that would literally soak for days in his water bowl. For no reason other than he wanted to do it. He always did this no matter what. Sometimes there would be one or two others that would get in their bowl for no reason. Never a mite or sickness to be seen. So yes. There is always the exception, but many of us here have seen the negative effects that a prior soaking can have if a ball is prone to bad sheds. Your water quality can play a huge role as well. A person who has hard well water and no softener is much more likely to cause a bad shed by soaking their BP in that water than a person who has soft city water. Much of this is simple common sense that I keep trying to point out. Hasn't anyone here ever moved from soft city water to hard, calcified well water and saw the immediate difference it made in your hair, skin, and clothes?Originally Posted by Domepiece
