  • Hello, we live in North Carolina and followed your instructions for making this, but within 3 days it has mold or something growing in the feeder. We used this same procedure last year and didn't have this problem. Any ideas what may be occuring here?

    Thanks

  • @ChristianBackpackers Make sure your feeder is totally clean and mold free to start with. Mold can "multiply" quickly when there's even any in the feeder. Usually nectar gets moldy within 2-3 days if the feeder is hanging in the hot sun, so it's probably not anything you're doing wrong. Here in the Southwest, I change the nectar in my feeders every 2-3 days too. Thanks for asking and hope this helps!

  • RO water is fine.
