How long should I soak my tortoises?

What type is it?

 

[fluffypanda17]

Sulcatas and a redfoot. Not at the same time though

20-30 min.how old are they?

20-30 minutes if under a year, then every day. Over a year, I do every other to every third day, for the same amount of time.

I've had my redfoot for about a year. I'm guessing he's about a year and nine months.

One sulcata was found a little over a year ago.

One is a little over a year old.

And the other one isnt mine but I think he's got to be at least 2.

I've been soaking them everyday. Is that ok?

You don't have to soak them every day after a year but I soak mine daily due to her being outside in the desert. Its your preference. I don't believe its going to hurt them. So far hasn't hurt mine.

Daily soaks are not bad for any tort. After a year it is not necessary but that is way different than detrimental.

Ok I'll continue to soak mine daily. It gives them a chance to get all of their poop out and their enclosure is mulch so it's not as humid as I'd like it. But they do have a humid hide~
