Hey guys!
This is my first time posting on here.
I recently bought my first ever tortoise yesterday. He's a horsefield (Russian) tortoise. He's adorable and he's been eating well although I haven't seen him once drinking. I know that I've only had him for a day but I'm getting really worried as I haven't seen him drinking once. I've seen him literally right next to his water bowl thinking that he's going to drink from it but I don't think he has?
I heard that bathing tortoises keep them hydrated and it'll be my first time bathing him tomorrow although I'm still very worried about him as he hasn't been drinking I don't think. As shown on the photo that I've attached, does the water bowl look too big for him or is that me overthinking that as I'm the kind of person who overthinks everything.
I'd appreciate any help as I'm really worried about this little guy.
