My tortoise isn’t drinking any water, I soak her almost every day and she eats watery food, she just won’t touch her water at all. How do I get her to drink water? What’s wrong?

Hello there! Poptart is SO cute!! How old is she?🥰

It might be you’re just missing the moments she’s getting a quick drink? Either way, as long as you’re doing daily soaks and your humidity is where it should be, coupled with the natural liquids in their diet, they should be adequately hydrated🙂and always have fresh water available👍

I don’t suppose you’d mind sharing some info on how you’re keeping them? It’s so good to know with new members, a photo of your full set up would be great!😊

What are your temperatures like?

Your humidity levels?

What kind of lighting/heating are you using?

Indoor uv? If so what kind?

Is that coco coir substrate?

How’s their diet been with you? I have a great list of stuff we personally feed ours if you’d like some ideas for variety! I’m always on the look out for additions, so feel free to share yours😁
