Brazilian tortoises can be raised with tap water, and their requirements for water quality are not high. As long as the water quality is clean and fresh, they can live normally. There are few impurities in tap water, and the way to obtain it is relatively simple. Many breeders will choose to use tap water to breed Brazilian tortoises. Although the water quality of tap water is relatively clean, they are all sterilized by chemicals. Although these chemicals will not affect human body, they may affect their health when used by Brazilian tortoises. Therefore, it is best for breeders to expose tap water to the sun for a few days before using it, so that the chemicals in the water can be completely volatilized.
2. What other water can Brazilian tortoises be raised with1. River water and lake water: Brazilian tortoises can also be raised with river water or lake water, both of which belong to natural water, and the organic matter and trace elements in the water are not found in tap water. However, these two kinds of water are easily polluted, and the way to obtain them is not simple. Breeders need to filter it before using it, and make sure there is no pollution before using it.
2. Well water: Well water is not easy to be polluted and contains trace elements in natural water, which is very suitable for raising Brazilian tortoises. However, the temperature of well water is low, and the temperature difference may be large when used directly, so breeders need to adjust the temperature of well water to be consistent with that of old water before use.
