My question is this... We had our water tested (well) for People Plants and Pets health in mind. We were worried about Arsenic, Uranium and a couple other things that are found in abundance in this areas water. Luckily NO HEAVY METALS.... yessssssssss. Some of our neighbors water is so contaminated it is completely unusable, unless RO filtration is performed. Our water did come back with the following levels.......Magnesium 24.60 mg/l and Calcium 55.17 mg/l
With such a high level of calcium in our water does calcium even need to be supplemented? I am a farmer and am very aware of the problems with high calcium levels in regards to "Nutrient Lockout." Does this behave the same way in Tortoises? Do I need to provide water with less calcium in it? These ?'s come from the "Cuttlebone" that is always said needs to be in torts enclosure's.
