Hi!
We're getting a baby RFT today and it just occurred to me that I don't know which water to gibmve him/her. We're on well water and get it tested regularly. It's slightly high in nitrates but otherwise safe. The nitrates are too high to be safe for infants or the very elderly but fine for everyone else (11 is the cutoff, ours is 12). I drink it, hubby drinks it, the older kids drink it, dogs, cats, etc. We also have a reverse osmosis system that I use mainly for the baby. Can I use the well water for the tortoise for drinking, soaking, and misting or should I use the RO? Thanks!
