How do I bath my tortoise?

 

Do I need to bath my tortoise?

I recommend bathing your tortoise to keep them nicely hydrated.

How often should I bath my tortoise?

  • 0-1 year: Every other day for 10 minutes;

  • 1-2 years: twice per week for 20 minutes;

  • 2+ years: once a week for 30 minutes;


It should be a shallow bath (¼ height of tortoise, up to their chin) in lukewarm water (30-32°C)

Ideally in the morning, before food.
