Hello all
I have had my russian (Tortuga) for six years now and in all that time I have never seen him drink. I'm not worried and know he is heathy and somehow getting enough liquids, but I'm wondering if anyone else has this same problem? I bath him twice a week in luke warm water for about 20 min but he hates it, all he does is try to get away. I usually have to change the water several times due to eliminations, but he doesn't drink. In the past his food consisted of spring mix but after relocating he is able to be let free in the yard were he has many things to eat including dandelion. Totuga has a small water dish in his pen, and I have placed a shallow dish of water in the garden for him to drink from, yet i have still never seen him drink. Thanks for any comments, Jack
