Hey!

Question:

Our Sulcata is 8 years old, and we used to soak him once a week, but haven't been much since he pees a lot and his urates are snow-white and look good. He doesn't seem to need any more moisture.

I live in a humid-ish area and my tortoise eats only fresh weeds, grass, hay, etc. from outside. Should I still be bathing / soaking him? If so, how often?

I have no exp with large torts but if he's doing good now then keep soaking once a week. I don't think u can over soak them.

I would soak once a week, unless you can give him a pond type situation that he can soak himself and actually does soak.

Hi-
I would just take a sponge and wash him off every day. Make sure it is warm water so he doesn't get a chill.
