my big desert tortoise, ares, just pee'd his brains out today. i have had him for 17 years and put him safely into hibernation every winter without ever giving this sort of thing a second thought! i would never had noticed if he had pee'd.
now that i have, is this a concern so close to hibernation? he is still very active, still wants to eat his cactus pear fruit, but it is cooling down here in the san fernando valley, and i do not want him to be dehydrated going into his big sleep.
any suggestions? i plan to soak him this friday. thanks!!
