Tortoise toilet

[Amandaahb]

Am a little concerned for my daughters tortoise. We have a 2010 Herman called rockey, we have had him now since the beginning of April he eats fresh food daily, but only a few nibbles and only passes urine about 3 times a week (white liquid) and poops about once a week? Apart from this he seems pretty happy and healthy walking round his house for hrs on end! Can anyone please advise?

Hi

Do you give him warm water soaks every day?
What are his enclosure temps in the cool, middle and basking spots?

Hi, rocky has warm baths every morning and really enjoys them! He very occasionally passes urine in the bath but I would say I have only seen this 3 times!

How long do you soak him for?

He has a 15-20min soak every morning before his breakfast and seems to really enjoy it!

Try making the soak a little longer . A good 20 minutes (going on half an hour) would be better. Make sure your tort is actually in the water for the entire time.
