I've heard that a water bowl can't be missed in a tortoise enclosure.
My Russian tortoise of 3 years (?) has a water bowl in his enclosure. but he never makes use of it. The water has either evaported or my tort has kicked over the bowl or kicked dirt in the water. Instead I daily soak him for +30 min, and during soaks he does drink.
So my question: can I ditch the water bowl and give her daily soaks instead?
