Water receptacles must be cleaned and sanitized as often as necessary to keep them free from contamination. Unclean water receptacles can affect water palatability and lead to decreased water consumption. This can have an adverse effect on the health of the baboon in this enclosure. Contaminated water can also lead to other potential health issues for this baboon such as bacterial or parasitic infection. Clean this water receptacle as often as needed to keep the water in the receptacle clean and sanitary.
