What age can I start giving my yearlings a bath every other day? I’ve been bathing them daily for a year which was no problem but I’m just wondering.
Thanks

Yep they all know where their water dishes are. Some times I come home to see that there is poop in the water bowlYou can probably start now. Does the tortoise go into his water dish on his own? That's when I quit the daily soaks. ONce they start going into the waterer on their own.
Oh, well they are all way over the 100 gram mark.That first year thing isn't anything I agree with. I soak mine daily until they pass 100 grams. After that, I start skipping days now and then.
There is no harm in soaking daily forever. Not necessary, but not harmful. Better to soak to much rather than not enough.
I feel your pain lolYep they all know where their water dishes are. Some times I come home to see that there is poop in the water bowl
Don’t even get me started on them dragging substrate into it. That’s a whole other issue!
Mine are outside this is they’re 2nd summer I mist mine in the middle of the day when it’s hot outside they love it they run to the mist they are like 14 mo.

When my grandparents looked after them for a week they had urates for a couple days after. They soaked them 3 times just because it’s more convenient for them.I have soaked Opo everyday and he is over 2yrs old. I have missed days of course for one reason or another. I do notice if I go on vacation and have someone care for Opo. I have them soak every other day. Often when I come back for a few days Opo will have some urates. Opo has yet to get the idea of using a water dish. I battled the substrate in the dish until he went outside fulltime. I just bought a bigger terracotta dish and he still just walks past it. I have never seen him take a drink from it. But I keep it fresh and full.
