I heard that food coloring can be harmful to them and possibly cause tumors. Since I want to be certain I’m not doing any harm I will omit the food coloring but do you have any other ideas for coloring the water without artificial ingredients?
I’ve heard also it may not be good for them, I’ve been making mine without.
Sorry for the delay I have been having computer problems.
