i have recently gotten a baby sulcata tortoise and I was wondering if I'm supposed to do the weekly soak? I saw someone on here mention it but the pet store didn't. What does the soak do for the tortoise?

Yes you need to do daily WARM water soaks. And then all of what Yvonne has said. You mentioned the pet store didn't say anything about that. That's unfortunately the case with most pet stores and even some veterinarians offer old, outdated tortoise care information to their customers.i have recently gotten a baby sulcata tortoise and I was wondering if I'm supposed to do the weekly soak?

Also where is the best place to buy a remote probe thermometer and an infrared temp gun? And what is the best colored incandescent bulb to buy? And last question for the night...what are the best vitamins to buy? Sorry for all the questions I just really want my tortoise as healthy as can be
Instead of soaking the hide, you could keep some moss or a sponge in side of it to promote humidity. You'd need to soak the sponge or moss pretty frequently.Okay I have been searing and searching and I cannot for the life of me find a hideaway that I can soak to help with the humidity...I found an edible hamster log but not a soakable one. Where do y'all get them?
