Hi Tom, what is your opinion on soaking? I have been soaking my 4 month old morning before his breakfast and in the evening before I change out his food. Morning food is a mixture of one Mazuri pellet soaked mixed with Kapidola Farms rehydrated prickly pear cactus and hibiscus,freshly pulled bluegrass/fescue grass (not fertilized) cut into tiny pieces and alternate days chopped cucumber,yellow squash,peppers.Ask her how many hatchling tortoises she's raised using daily soaks and warm humid monsoon conditions. When she says "zero", ask her if she'd like to talk to some people that have raised 1000s that way, and her way too. A simple conversation would be able to demonstrate how wrong she is and why, but I doubt she's willing to have that conversation. Tell her Tom from the tortoise forum wants to talk to her about this. I won't be rude or insulting. I'll just explain it to her and back it up with evidence.
I leave that available to him all day until the evening soak and then I give him a mixed green salad chopped kale,collards,green leaves from the top of organic strawberries then lightly sprinkle Rep-Cal Herpvite and Rep-Cal Calcium with bit.D3 You are my torty God . I think you are the best source of TRUE information to help torty parents like me who needs guidance thank you for being there
