I have a 7-month old Russian tortoise and lately I've noticed him drinking from his water dish almost every day. (It's really adorable to watch!)
I used to soak him daily, but I've heard that the purpose of soaking them is so that they drink water. I have never seen him drink water while I'm soaking him.
Sometimes he actually enjoys the warm soak, but other times he'll try to climb out, so then I just let him out so he isn't stressed.
Should I still soak him, even if I notice that he is drinking regularly? I was thinking of just soaking him 2-3 days a week instead of daily. Thoughts?
Thanks!
