Is it okay for Russian tortoises to have tap water for their soaking time?
I read they shouldn't have it due to the chlorine and minerals and such. I usually fill a couple of old milk containers with tap water and let them sit for at least 24 hours before giving any of it to my RT. when I soak him I usually take that water and heat it up in the microwave to get it warm but wondered if I could just use warm water straight from the faucet instead for his soaks.
