Is she getting a drink?

Idk lol looks like she trying to drown herself. Do they stick their noses under water when they drink?

Must be drinking. Sometimes they just take little sips.

She's been there for a while idk I was thinking omg I'm a bad tort mom she is trying to drown herself lol

She is taking a drink, if you look close enough you will be able to see her swallowing.

looks like she is drinking, when I first got Misha she had a drink for like 5-10 minutes (I think she was a little dehydrated)

 

[DanaLachney]

Yeah I tried to get close enough to "examine" her but she picks her head up and looms at me so I know she's ok but I can't help spying on her love her so much already but i think I'm disturbing or bothering her so I'm gonna stop :'(

LMAO.....so I have seen Tortoise drink a lot....however my old man Humphry was sooo sick a long time ago when he had a different host...so when I got my hands on him helping him through his sand impaction....one day he dropped his head right into the water like a rock and he stayed that way for 15 minutes ....no kidding...and on top of that he would take long slow drinks so it was hard to tell if he was even moving!! I so thought he just gave up and died With his head submerged...so at 15 minutes I could not stand it so I poked his head and he slowly dragged his head up and glared at me with his one good eye..LOL.....so I laughed really hard reading your post....

When I took betty to the vet yesterday he said they can hold their breath for a very long time.

Drinking water, tortoises drink water thru their noise.
They can hold there breath for minutes upon drinking, if you look close at her face
or under the head you can see her gulping it down..

Lol I just knew I had drove her over the edge into doing the unthinkable
