如選擇放水盤，請選一個淺身及邊位底和不割手的水盤，方便龜龜出入。如邊位過高，龜龜容易返身，自己又不能返回，會因此缺水致死。市面上有爬蟲專用的水盤，或可選用膠盤蓋子，。盾臂龜不會游泳，故水位不要太髙，每天/骯髒時換水便可。
You may put out a shallow dish of water for your tortoise. Make sure that the dish is safe for your baby tortoise. The edge of the dish should not be sharp and it should be low so the tortoise can walk in and out without flipping or hurting himself. If a tortoise flipped over and not being flipped back in proper position, he may die from dehydration. Yes, they can’t flip back on their own. You may choose a water dish specially made for reptiles or use a flat lid from a plastic container. Fill it up with water and change the water every day/when it is dirty. Keep the water level low so it won’t drown the tortoise. The tortoise may drink from the dish and then pass his waste there.

如選擇不放水盤，就一定要浸龜。食物提供的水份並不足夠，特別是幼龜。幼龜很容易缺水，而盾臂龜又容易結石。盾盾小時每天浸泡，100 g 後才開始隔天浸泡。
If you choose not to put out a water dish, make sure you soak your tortoise frequently. Some people may think that if they feed the tortoise fresh food, the water from the food is enough for them. Not really especially for baby tortoises. Baby tortoises are more vulnerable to dehydration and remember African Spurred Tort are prone to stone formation. I soak Tun Tun every day when she was very young. Then every other day after she reached 100 g.
