Soaking a Tortoise

This last burst of summer weather may give you the chance to give your tortoise that much-needed last soak before brumation. Place the tortoise in a basin of water shallow enough that it can stand and have its head out of the water but deep enough to lie down and submerge its head. A tortoise may drink for as long as 20-30 minutes, so don't be alarmed. Good hydration is key to healthy brumation.
