Good day,
One of the recommendations I hear about hatchling is daily soaking in warm water for about 10-30minutes as this prevents dehydration.
But is it possible to over do it?
For example, I have two sulcata hatchlings and we soak them every morning (1st soak).
Then, we let them graze in the yard for 2-3hrs every morning. They're pretty active outside but humidity outdoors can go as low as 20%. With that, when we bring them back, we soak them again (2nd soak of the day) first before putting them back in their enclosure (which has humidity between 60-80%, we're still trying to fix their enclosure to reach 80-100% humidity).
Lastly, they do another 2-3hrs grazing just before dusk (i.e. Sun is not to hot). Then before bringing them back in, another soak (3rd soak of the day).
Is this actually ok or am I overdoing it already?
Thanks,
Franz
