This is my first time around with radiata so forgive the 'noob' questions.
With every other species I've worked with, soaking reliably results in defecation with most individuals. I know with my platynota that each one will defecate during the soak almost every time.
I soak the radiated hatchlings daily. They eat well, I do find droppings in their setup, but I have not once had them defecate during soaking. I've also not found droppings in the water dish, which is at least a weekly thing with the stars.
Is this expected? Do they just not foul water?
