I've had my baby red foot (Pebble) for about 3 weeks now, and she/he has HATED water the entire time. Very fussy during daily soaks despite trying different temps/setups. Seems like a very healthy tort, eats and poops every day and loves roaming around outside when we go out for sun. Today, I put Pebble in the water as I do every morning, and did not see any usual intention of leaving for a good 20 mins. Pebble has now been roaming in and out of the water dish for about two hours despite usually leaving ASAP and sleeping 20-22 hours a day.
The sudden change is a little concerning so as a new tortoise owner I was hoping to receive some opinions on this behaviour. The temp is between 80-90 during the day and 70-80 at night, and the humidity is 60-70% during the day and 80-90% at night. My substrate is a mix of Repti Bark and coconut fiber.
Thank you very much! Sorry for the long read!
