Hi! Posting to see if anyone has any idea what’s going on with our fleece bedding/water situation right now as we are STUMPED.
So basically we’ve had our boys since July, and:
- we’ve always used the same water (filtered tap)
- we’ve always used the same pre washed fleece
- we use towels for our absorbent layer
- their bottle has always been in the same spot
- we always clean the bottles during daily refills
But lately, when their bottle drips, a green algae like spot grows on their bedding! they never interact with it, and it isn’t slimy like algae, just green in colour, but I have no clue why it’s growing!
We experimented with using bought water, different bottles, different fleeces beneath the water bottle, and still the spot comes! Even when we went back to our usual water and old bedding thinking the new fleece we bought triggered the growth, it grows in those circumstances too!
The only new change has been that it’s winter now and we use more electric heat in our home, but their bottle isn’t near a heater and their room isn’t any warmer than it usually has been, and if anything it should be less humid in winter ? (We had a humid summer this year with no issues)
If anyone has had experience with this please let us know! it’s lasted three weeks or so now and we really want to get it fixed.![sad :( :(](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f622.png)
