hi everyone,
do any of you have a tortoise that just does not drink?
In the 3 years that i have owned Toby (Spurthigh) i have never seen her take a drink, her urates are as they should be, i do leave all her food wet when i feed it to her, she is bathed every other day but i have never seen her drink

I have one tort that seems never to drink - like yours though she obviously takes in her water whilst in the bath, torts take in water through the tail. So whilst soaking and seemingly just having a bath Toby is obviously getting all the drink she needs, just not in the way you would expect!

I have a few that i have never seen drink in over 6 years!

Some will some won't and some will do it when your not looking lol

Just keep up with baths.

Here is a picture of one of my adult horsfields drinking.

It is true that tortoises dont drink much and they get alot of their water from their food so you don't often see them drinking

As has been previously mentioned torts will drink through their tail whilst in the bath and your tort proberly has a sneaky drink from his bowl when your not around

as long as you always have a supply of water in enclosuers then i wouldnt worry.
