Hi guys,
I am pondering something and I would love your opinions. I recently switched to a coconut fiber substrate and it has been great for Sally, the only issue I'm having is that when she walks into her water dish the substrate that is stuck to her goes in the water and creates a mud at the bottom of the dish. I can't see any way to avoid this as the damp coconut fiber is always stuck to her and it gets everywhere she goes. What I am wondering is does she really need to have a water dish if I soak her every day to hydrate her? When she was younger she would sit in her water dish and soak for long periods of time but within the past few months she will never go in there to soak, even before I switched her substrate. Does she need to have a water dish if she isn't using it anymore and it's just making a mess? Let me know what you think, I'm just pondering over here.
